Mexican Senate Votes To Drop Out of ACTA

Posted by samzenpus on from the outta-acta dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Mexican Senate has voted unanimously to drop out of ACTA negotiations, saying that the process has been way too secretive, left out many stakeholders and appears to deny access to knowledge and information. Of course, it's not clear if this 'non-binding resolution' actually means much, as the negotiators are not under the Senate's control. At the very least, though, it appears the Mexican Senate is going to fight to keep the country from agreeing to ACTA."

    Unanimous ... I bet the US senate would be closer to unanimous in the other direction.

    Smaller countries know when they are being taken to the cleaners.

    Mexico may have been turned into a lethal hellhole by the drug cartels, but you have to credit their government with more integrity than most of the developed world, as far as that treaty is concerned. I hope the EU makes good on its promise and follows suit.
