"We have voted in favour of Mrs Fourtou’s report () on measures and procedures to ensure the enforcement of intellectual property rights and the negotiated compromise package.
It has been important to us to ensure protection for citizens and their rights and, at the same time, to combat growing trademark counterfeiting, pirate copying and the infringement of intellectual property rights. Moreover, the directive ensures further harmonisation of national legal regulations on the enforcement of intellectual property rights and helps ensure that the legislation is complied with.
The compromise means that the proposal is limited to circumstances of a major commercial character. It excludes offences by consumers who have acted in good faith and strengthens people’s right to carry out private copying in accordance with the Copyright Directive. It means that judges must take account of the intention behind infringements, and it ensures the confidentiality of important information. Moreover, adoption is in accordance with the EU’s global obligations in relation to the World Intellectual Property Organization It also means that there is proportionality in the proposal and that obstacles to trade must not be created.
Finally, we consider it important to have the proposal adopted before enlargement. Adoption following enlargement could mean that future legislation would only be adopted in several years’ time, which could lead to increased illegal activity."@en1
