"I voted in favour of the resolution on customs enforcement of intellectual property rights. Intellectual property rights (IPR) are fundamental to innovation, which is a key priority of the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Given the increase of IPR infringements and international trade in infringing goods, large parts of economic growth and jobs in the EU depend on the effective enforcement of IPR. It is estimated that piracy and counterfeiting cost European businesses EUR 250 billion each year. The customs authorities are in a comparatively good position to enforce IPRs effectively at the EU’s external borders, before the goods enter the internal market. Once the goods spread across different Member States, it becomes much more difficult and costly to trace them and to initiate proceedings. I support the position of the rapporteur that the proposed regulation should only lay down the procedures enabling the customs authorities to prevent the movement of goods which are suspected of infringing IPR."@en1
