"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution because it represents the outcome of extremely difficult negotiations between the European Commission and several third countries, including Canada, Japan, the United States, Australia and Mexico.
The fight against counterfeiting must be one of our priorities and an objective of all national and international policies. Consequently, cooperation between Member States is essential in order to achieve effective results.
The agreement reached will definitely not be able to resolve the complex situation on international markets, but it represents a step in the right direction. Our task now is to continue working for the civil and customs protection of our geographical indications, which are damaged by competition which is at the very least unfair, due to the constant use of names and acronyms that reference the best-known European brands. The most obvious damages are destined to build up for our industries and producers in the agro-food, design, fashion and luxury products sectors.
I believe that the Commission has made an effort to keep the European Parliament fully informed during all the phases of the negotiations on the international agreements. I should like to reiterate here our request to give the public and the European Parliament access to the texts. In conclusion, I urge the European Commission to continue to keep Parliament fully and punctually informed regarding all the future initiatives it intends to adopt on this matter."@en1
