Dear member of the European Parliament, 


I am xxxx, 


and I am writing to you since you represent the people of Malta in the European Parliament. I am very much concerned by the ACTA agreement currently under negotiation. Have you signed the Written Declaration 12/2010 by MEPs Castex, Alvaro, Lambrinidis, Roithová? An analysis by the Commission itself shows that current versions of the ACTA agreement (carried out in secret) go beyond the EU acquis. ACTA lets the Commission negotiate on civil and criminal sanctions. It is not just a trade agreement. The European Parliament must show its commitment to protecting EU citizens. I feel that it is right that you sign the declaration 12/2010. This is so very important! The whole negotiation is circumventing the democratic process and could radically alter the Internet and citizens freedoms. To do so, you must personally sign the declaration on a table in front of the hemicycle during plenary sessions or go to the written question room at the European Parliament in Brussels. Thank you very much for reading this. I would be very interested in knowing what you thought. Have a good day. Yours sincerely, XXX
