"This report was adopted by a large majority in the IMCO Committee in February and it is a shame progress has not been made sooner with Council.
I welcome the rapporteur’s decision to vote now and I hope we will be able to reach a deal with the Council soon on this important issue. My approach on this important report has been to further strengthen the enforcement of intellectual property rights in customs, against attempts by the S&D Group and the Greens/EFA Group to water it down.
Intellectual property rights are fundamental for innovation, jobs and growth in Europe and it is of great importance that we ensure the correct mechanisms are in place.
I tabled amendments stressing that national customs authorities have limited resources and that it was therefore important to ensure that no new additional burdens were placed on them. I also focused on improving efficiency by stressing the importance of using risk management technologies in identifying infringements.
I support the rapporteur’s view on including parallel trade in the scope. However, I disagree with the approach of reversing the burden of proof to the holder or declarant concerning goods in transit. I am happy to vote in favour of this report."@en1
