lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would like to begin by congratulating the rapporteur, Mrs Matias, and thanking everyone who collaborated with her. Sadly, over the last few years, we have witnessed an increase in the falsification of medicines here in Europe. According to European Union data, currently 1.5 million boxes of falsified medicines are sold every year via the legal supply chain. This is a criminal activity which represents a serious threat to European patients and industry. The purpose of this directive is to block the introduction of falsified medicines into the supply chain, and thereby protect public health. I would like to highlight the following key points in the opinion that I drafted: the introduction of a definition of falsified medicine, which clearly places the emphasis on consumer protection, the application of safety provisions to those medicines which are subject to medical prescription, the accountability of all participants in the supply chain and, finally, the application by Member States of effective sanctions to deter this criminal activity."@en1
