lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the rise in the detention of counterfeit and pirated goods by the EU customs authorities is undeniably worrisome, for counterfeit medicines pose real threats to our citizens’ lives and their well-being, not to mention other serious sources of risk to health and safety which penetrate the internal market every year. Moreover, European businesses incur substantial losses that can be curbed by effective enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPR) at the EU borders. We must be mindful, however, that the enforcement of intellectual property rights is not an end in itself. In order for us to effectively protect consumers’ legitimate business interests and stimulate innovation, we need to take a broad approach to IPR. Intellectual property issues are played out in a wider economic commercial and legal context. Fortunately, we have managed to exclude travellers’ personal luggage from the scope of this proposal and to take account of the specific nature of small consignments in a single package intended for the personal use of consumers. I have serious concerns with the narrow timeframes foreseen for customs procedures and especially with the approach taken to goods in transit. We must not impinge on the free movement of goods such as generic medicines."@en1
