Dutch government requests citizens to comment on ACTA texts

The Dutch government has asked for public comments on the published draft version of ACTA. On the site www.internetconsultatie.nl/acta, people and organisations with a stake or interest in the proceedings can comment on the text. Comments are accepted until August 15th.

Late in 2010, the next round of negotiations will take place. When the results of that round will be made public, the resulting draft will again be put up for comments.

The role of The Netherlands in these negotiations is not too big, by the way. The EU member states are mostly represented by the European Commission.

The reactions to the text will be made public after the consultation round closes, unless the commenter objects to that.
