The Committee in the European Parliament responsible for the report regarding Anti-Countefeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), the International Trade Committee, recommended to vote no to this agreement in plenary session. The vote in this Committee was divided: nineteen MEPs voted against ACTA, and twelve in favour, with no abstentions.

MEPs at the International Trade Committee rejected the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), and recommended to vote no in plenary session. MEP David Martin, responsible for the report, welcomed the outcome of the vote. Nineteen MEPs voted against ACTA, and twelve in favour, with no abstentions. In April 2012, the Commission agreed on the legal submission of ACTA to the European Court of Justice.

The rejection of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) by the International Trade Committee was followed by the recommendation to reject it of four European Parliament committees (Civil Liberties, Industry, Legal Affairs and Development). In addition, five complaints calling on MEPs to reject the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), one supported by over 2.8 million people from all over the world, were discussed by the European Parliament Committee on Petitions.

The ACTA will debated by the European Parliament as a whole on 3 July, with a vote scheduled for 4 July. If the House does not give its consent to ACTA, then the agreement falls as far as the EU is concerned.
