"Mr President, Commissioner Barnier, ladies and gentlemen, I would first like to mention that I think that, with the agreement we have reached here on the basis of the Commission proposal, we will be able to take a significant step forward in informing young people of the consequences that product piracy and the buying of counterfeit products have for their health, but also for the European economy.
In this connection may I remind you of the very positive initiative to create a European prize taken by the European trade mark office following the establishment of this Observatory; a prize for the best ideas from young people as to how we can communicate more effectively the negative consequences that product piracy or the buying of counterfeit products can have.
Mr Masip Hidalgo was with me last week in Brussels – as were you, Commissioner – when we were able to present some really excellent short films which, in very simple language and without automatically engaging in moral criticism, shed light on the problems that product piracy and counterfeit products cause for European industry. These have also been awarded prizes by the Commission.
I believe that, despite all the different views represented in this House where the detail is concerned, we are all united in the view that we need a better, more understandable, more communicative strategy for showing young people in particular what the abuse of the possibilities offered by the Internet can mean in the final event for the European economy, and for their parents’ jobs. We still need more campaigns on this. We are definitely on the right path – but I believe, Commissioner, we should try to consolidate this path; we should not just give out awards for really good ideas, but also incorporate such ideas into European political communications.
I think it would be a great contribution if the European Parliament were to award one of these short clips the LUX Prize that we give out each year for excellence in European film, so that reference is made to the negative consequences of product piracy even in the opening credits of the film."@en1
