A KEI FOIA request for these seven documents was denied on the grounds of national security [1]. (Links to March 2009 news storied about this here [2]). You decide if these seven documents present a risk to the national security of the United States, or if the White House has been misusing the national security exception to avoid a public debate on public policy issues relating to the enforcement of intellectual property rights:
- EU Proposals on On Border Measures [3]
- EU Proposals on Civil Enforcement [4]
- Summary of Comments on Border Measures [5]
- US Paper on General Definitions [6]
- Canada Non-Paper on institutional issues under the Agreement [7]
- Proposal on Penal Measures [8]
- Summary of Comments on Civil Enforcement [9]
The original source of all seven documents was the Council of Europe, which distributed the documents to various corporate lobbyists in Europe.
