"The European Observatory on Counterfeiting and Piracy, set up in 2009, has become a centre of expertise for gathering, monitoring and reporting information related to infringements of intellectual property rights and a platform for cooperation in which stakeholders exchange ideas on best practice with a view to developing strategies for protecting intellectual property rights. I welcome the Commission’s proposal to entrust the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market with the tasks of the Observatory, with a view to improving its operations and improving the manner in which it fulfils its recently expanded responsibilities. In a context of the exponential growth of instances of counterfeiting and piracy, reducing the incentive for innovation of European enterprises and contributing to a reduction in the number of jobs, I believe it is appropriate to strengthen a coordinated policy in this regard. I should underline, moreover, that in terms of certain categories of products (medicines, toys, household electrical appliances, and so on), counterfeiting threatens human health and leads to a considerable decrease in the protection available to European consumers. I should like to stress the importance of guaranteeing that the information collected and disseminated by the Office for Harmonisation fulfils the criteria with regard to completeness and quality of data and that its activities are guided by robust transparency principles."@en1
