"The European Union legislates in many fields. It is therefore our role as MEPs to ensure that legislative measures are in accordance with developments in society. For example, the 2003 legislation concerning customs enforcement of intellectual property rights is now obsolete due to strong growth in e-commerce. One of the key measures of the revised regulation is to introduce a simplified procedure for small consignments. Online sales did indeed cause a spectacular increase of detentions in postal traffic by 200%. In response to this, the Commission plans to enable ‘small consignments’ suspected of being counterfeit goods to be destroyed without the agreement of the rights holder, thus reducing costs and the administrative burden for customs. For greater legal certainty and to avoid any confusion, we have submitted an amendment aimed at extending the scope of these measures to include patents. The text was therefore adopted despite the changing opinions of the socialists who allowed themselves to be influenced by lobbies at the last minute."@en1
