"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I congratulate Mr Masip Hidalgo on the work he has done, which recognises the key role played by the defence of intellectual property rights as an indispensable instrument for economic growth in the European Union, in that it creates jobs and protects cultural diversity. Infringements of intellectual property rights effectively do enormous damage to Union revenues and it is essential to strengthen our efforts to combat unlawful acts through collaboration between national authorities, European Union institutions and industry experts. The adoption of this measure answers this need and enables us to lay the foundation for creating a single market for intellectual property rights. Embedding the Observatory within the European Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market will in fact ensure that it has the human, financial and logistical resources it needs in order to carry out its task in an effective manner. We are at the start of a long journey, during which we shall have to monitor and evaluate the Observatory’s activities with close and careful attention. Infringement of intellectual property rights in fact occurs on many levels, requiring different degrees of protection and recognition by Member States. It will be essential to continue to make use of the expertise of national authorities and the many specific representative organisations. This will enable us to strengthen the technical skills of the Observatory, thereby simultaneously ensuring that every intellectual property right is recognised at the EU level without any hierarchical ordering of the level of protection and recognition."@en1
