ACTA’s biggest EU proponent, Karel De Gucht, the European Commissioner driving ACTA, is now admitting that the agreement may be doomed in Europe. Techdirt reports minutes from a recent Commission meeting in which De Gucht was paraphrased as saying:
“that the campaign had also had a considerable influence on Members of the European Parliament and, following recent contacts with various political groups, he now felt it would be difficult to muster a majority in favour of ACTA within the EP.”
