<partial quote>
ACTA has several features that raise significant potential concerns for 
consumers' privacy and civil liberties, for innovation and the free flow 
of information on the Internet, legitimate commerce, and for developing 
countries' ability to choose policy options that best suit their 
domestic priorities and level of economic development.
