"Mr President, thank you for giving me the opportunity to say a few words on this very important subject. I commend the Commission and the rapporteur for the suggestions they have made.
When we consider that the Union loses EUR 250 billion per year, along with 100 000 jobs, it behoves us to take meaningful action and we are making a start here this afternoon.
Apart from the loss of EUR 250 billion and 100 000 jobs, and the danger to the health and safety of citizens, it is quite obvious that we have a major problem here and I welcome the initiative to try and deal with it, especially in relation to intellectual property rights. When we consider the economic crisis and this huge sum of money that we are losing annually, it is quite obvious that if we can tackle this, we will be making a major contribution not only to the lives of our citizens but also to the economy.
I especially welcome the suggestions to have procedures simplified to allow customs officials to deal with matters effectively, and hopefully we can make progress on this matter."@en1
