lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that no more fundamental revision work needs to be done on Mr Creutzmann’s report. The essential elements of this report, which are, after all, intended to form part of a strategy for intellectual property rights across Europe, offer the right way forward, which we only want to amend in one more area, as Ms Gallo has already mentioned. We need more protection in international trade, as this is of fundamental importance to consumers, but also to European companies. It has just been mentioned that the OECD assumes that we suffer annual losses of around USD 250 billion thanks to the trade in counterfeit products. We have been working hard over recent months on the issue of how we can bring about not only a stronger enforcement of intellectual property rights – which, of course, can only ever be part of the strategy, and I agree with much of what has already been said in this connection – but also a situation whereby young people, in particular, have much more understanding of the fact that intellectual property is not just something that appears from nowhere, but is something with which authors, professional and garage inventors and others have been grappling for years and for which everyone has a social responsibility. I therefore believe, Commissioner, that it was also highly positive for Commissioner Barnier to offer a prize for ideal communication regarding intellectual property rights, which we managed to present for the first time last year. The upgrading of customs authorities in the enforcement of intellectual property rights that has just been mentioned will facilitate the combating of counterfeiting and piracy tremendously. Nobody is questioning the fact that the customs authorities are not suited to checking patents. However, the bulk of counterfeiting and piracy with which customs occupies itself does not relate to patent disputes but to very fundamental issues. I therefore believe that, with Mr Creutzmann’s report, we have found a fair balance between interests that will be discussed once again at second reading in the negotiations with the Council."@en1
