lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to begin by congratulating the rapporteur on this report. This is an extremely important issue for Europe. At a time when we are experiencing a serious economic, financial and social crisis, protecting intellectual property rights by combating fake products is essential to the European economy. This protection should increase commitment to research and promote innovation, and should ensure scientific and technological knowledge, thereby contributing to the development of new products and services. All this will generate growth and create quality jobs. Unfortunately, in recent years, we have witnessed a significant rise in violations of intellectual property rights in Europe, representing annual losses of EUR 250 billion for companies, as has already been said here, and the destruction of 185 000 jobs in Europe. Beyond these negative effects on the European economy, however, violations of these rights also constitute a serious threat to the health and safety of European consumers, since many fake and counterfeit products, such as foodstuffs, cosmetics, medicines, etc. are produced in unregulated environments. This means that European Union customs officials play a key role in preventing fake products from entering the internal market. The recasting of this regulation is intended to step up enforcement of application of the legislation in question, to make their involvement more legitimate, and to increase legal clarity by adapting the provisions of the regulation to new realities and new developments, thereby contributing to increased protection of the economy and of European consumers. This makes intellectual property rights a key priority for hitting Europe 2020 strategy targets, so as to achieve smart, inclusive and sustainable growth."@en1
