Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk held a question-and-answer session Monday on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) in the wake of his decision to suspend ratification of the measure.
Over 100 people registered to participate in the discussion, in which members of the public could participate, with others posting questions on the Twitter and Facebook pages of the prime minister's chancellery.

Public information and consultations on ACTA
Australia consistently advocated the maximum possible transparency for the ACTA negotiations. During the negotiations, several versions of draft text were released to the public containing the various proposals put forward by parties.
Throughout the ACTA negotiations, DFAT led extensive whole-of-government consultations with stakeholders, and information sessions on the published ACTA text.
ACTA was first publicly announced by the United States on 23 October 2007. In November 2007, DFAT published an Australian discussion paper outlining the details of the proposed ACTA, its purpose in the international IP system and its likely impact on Australia. DFAT published the paper on its website, with a request for submissions on the merits of participating in negotiations. The majority of submissions received favoured Australia’s participation in negotiations. Australia announced its decision to participate on 1 February 2008 and posted a media release on the homepage of the then Minister for Trade.
Further information about ACTA can be found in the ACTA Factsheet.
