Thank you Fabrizio!
I hope some material in the "hub-archive" can be useful:
http://lists.act-on-acta.eu/pipermail/hub/
Basically, the question is how TFEU 218.10 has been applied throughout
the procedure:
*"The European Parliament shall be immediately and fully informed at
all stages of the procedure."*
Who is the "European Parliament"? What exactly does "immediately",
"fully" and "stages" mean?
As an example, is "initialling" a "stage"? "Initialling" was a key
concept in the 2010 November resolution (see ALDE and Greens/EFA
resolutions
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=MOTION&reference=B7-2010-0619&language=EN
and
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=MOTION&reference=B7-2010-0617&language=EN
)
And as you know, TFEU 218.10 and the framework agreement are still
relevant in the ACTA procedure. As far as I know Lehne/JURI has not yet
received an answer from the Commission
http://lists.act-on-acta.eu/pipermail/hub/2012-May/000100.html while
Greens/EFA received an answer on 10 May
http://lists.act-on-acta.eu/pipermail/hub/2012-May/000101.html.
I am happy to assist further inquiries.
