Intellectual property rights (IPR) are fundamental for innovation as a key priority of the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. It is estimated that piracy and counterfeiting cost European businesses EUR 250 billion each year. In addition to the negative implications for businesses, violations of these rights can also pose a serious threat to the health and safety of consumers. In 2010, 14.5% of the total amount of detained articles were products for daily use and products that would be potentially dangerous to the health and safety of consumers. Although 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. In this context, I find it important to emphasise that the proposed regulation would establish procedures to enable the customs authorities to prevent the movement of goods that are suspected of infringing IPR. The determination of IPR infringements itself will be exclusively based on the EU’s substantive intellectual property legislation or the national laws of the Member States."@en1
