"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, intellectual property right infringements and the global trade in counterfeit goods are an ever growing concern, in terms of both the economic consequences for Europe’s industry and the risks to consumers’ health and safety. Parliament has, for some time, been speaking out on the need to regulate the flow of goods from third countries, which, in the absence of efficient, harmonised customs control, is liable to be the unwitting channel for the traffic in products that are harmful to consumers and prejudicial to fair competition in the market. For some time, I have been calling for the customs systems to be harmonised to make Europe more competitive, a subject that today, at last, lies at the heart of the political debate, together with tax setting. We welcome the Creutzmann report because it simplifies the existing regulatory framework and strengthens the measures used to counter unfair competition. In the Committee on International Trade, we are working on the reform of the customs code in order to provide operators with greater certainty on the destination of goods in transit and to allow for swift action on false statements of origin, a problem that would have been resolved already if the Council had adopted the regulation that this House adopted in October two years ago."@en1
