‘By letter of 20 December 2012 the Commission has withdrawn its request for an opinion of the Court of Justice on the compatibility of the envisaged Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) with the Treaties and in particular with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (case A-1/12). Until now, the case has however not yet been removed from the register of the Court. The European Parliament having itself submitted written observations in case A-1/12 the question asked by the Court of Justice as well as the letter of the Commission of 20 December 2012 have been served also on the European Parliament.’
