lpv:translated text	". The clandestine trade in medicinal products has already been compared with the illegal trade in weapons of war and drug trafficking. It is a scourge that affects millions of people around the world, and which is a nightmare for those whose duty it is to look after public health: someone who is ill, often with chronic or terminal diseases could take something that is harmless and has no effect, or even take something that could even be harmful. We know that there are increasing amounts of counterfeit or falsified medicinal products in circulation, with the figures running into the millions. It is essential that we fight organised crime and cross-border traffickers and put an end to parallel marketing circuits, for example on the Internet. I therefore welcome the adoption of tamper-evident packaging and the creation of an early warning system. I welcome the adoption of this directive of Parliament and the Council which, by tracking the entire product cycle, will prevent falsified and/or counterfeit medicinal products from being brought into the European Union and will reinforce the protection of public health by improving the quality and safety of the medicinal products consumed. Finally, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur, my compatriot, Mrs Matias, on the work she has done."@en1
