Poslanci so 4. julija zavrnili mednarodni sporazum proti ponarejanju ACTA, s čimer so prvič preprečili vstop v veljavo katerega izmed sporazumov, o katerem se je s tretjimi državami pogajala Evropska unija. Mnogi menijo, da bi utegnila ACTA ogroziti svobodo spleta in spodkopati temeljne pravice evropskih državljanov.
O sporazumu je sicer razpravljalo šest odborov Parlamenta. Pet odborov je sporazum zavrnilo, odbor za peticije pa se je posvetil peticiji proti ACTA, ki jo je podpisalo skoraj tri milijone Evropejcev.
Zavrnitev ACTA s strani Parlamenta pomeni, da sporazum v EU ne bo mogel stopiti v veljavo.
