lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am still a little shocked by this debate. Mr Engström, it goes without saying that the customs authorities will not become the arbiters of patents, as the Commissioner has stressed once again. Similarly, I do not understand the concerns of social democratic Members. I believe that their worry is completely unfounded as, when it comes to generic products, for the first time, the text states quite specifically that the customs authorities may not obstruct the free trade of medicines and, in particular, generic products. We further reinforced this basic principle in our report. I also thought it important – and there were some points to debate in this regard – to ensure the rule of law. This is, after all, a highly important criterion, in other words, that those whose rights are infringed can also take legal action against customs decisions. On another note, I have been pleased to see that the Council has adopted many of our amendments in its compromise text, for example, Commissioner, when it comes to the delegated acts for small consignments. We proposed two kilogrammes and three items, from which the Council has made three kilogrammes and five items, so we will certainly reach a positive result in this regard. I hope that plenary will back this report with a large majority tomorrow so that we can immediately enter into negotiations with the Council, and that, as the Commissioner said in his speech, at the end of the year, a regulation will then enter into force that offers benefits all round, which is to say, to consumers, data protection, businesses – that has been stressed once again in the speeches we have heard – but also the customs authorities. Our contribution was reducing the red tape for the customs authorities in order to help them to be able to resolve cases. I believe that we succeeded in doing so."@en1
