"The economic and financial crisis has reinforced the need for a strong commitment to economic growth and job creation. All possibilities for jobs that are essentially based in small and medium-sized enterprises should be explored. As such, combating parallel trade, especially tax evasion and counterfeiting, is of prime importance. Transactions involving counterfeit goods on European markets account for losses of EUR 250 billion every year and have a negative impact on labour markets, affecting 185 000 jobs. Moreover, consumer protection and the quality of the traded products are also at risk, as well as the protection of intellectual property rights. I voted for this proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning customs enforcement of intellectual property rights by customs authorities because it will enable the strengthening of existing legislation, improve legal clarity and provide better protection for the economy and the rights of European consumers, as health and well-being are at stake, with health products, foods, and technological and industrial goods affected, among others. It also meets the objectives set out in the Europe 2020 strategy, namely, smart, sustainable and inclusive growth."@en1
