The European Parliament spoke against ACTA following a huge campaign
<http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+MOTION+P7-RC-2010-0154+0+DOC+XML+V0//EN>
but I don't understand what happened after that.
Given the current state of European affairs, it's not so unlikely that
the Parliament will go against the Commission and/or governments.
