"Mr President, today I am happy to support giving legal effect to a European observatory to assist with combating the infringement of intellectual property rights (IPR). The observatory will be effective in dealing with infringement because until now there has been a severe shortage of information for tackling counterfeiting and piracy. It also brings harmonisation across Member States, meaning that the EU can become a more effective machine when it comes to IPR and infringement.
It is, however, important that the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market can work closely with the Member States, as well as private industry and the Commission, to tackle infringement. Without such cooperation, duplication could potentially harm progress, and in a supportive role a European observatory can help bring real value to IPRs.
We can also save the EU budget, and indeed taxpayers, some much-needed money in these difficult financial times by entrusting the Office of Harmonisation with this very important task. I have also called for a focus, not just on counterfeiting and piracy, but also on other types of infringement. I welcome this vote today."@en1
