Some EU member states, such as Germany, said that they don’t want to make any decision on ACTA, pushing the political pressure towards the European Parliament, awaiting their approval.

The Belgian and Croatian government are taking a whole different stance, conducting their own impact study and holding a public debate.

Belgian minister Vande Lanotte said the following: “Only when the impact study is ready and the parliament has studied the content, can a debate about the controversial ACTA agreement take place. For the legislation in Belgium as well as on a European level”

The Croatian government stated it welcomes a public debate for all interested citizens.
