"I welcome the modernisation of customs regulations concerning intellectual property rights. The uniform application of these regulations and the resulting effective supervision of the internal market is needed for maintaining the competitiveness of European firms. Counterfeits from third countries cost our businesses about EUR 250 billion annually, and the number of counterfeits has doubled in recent years, reducing the opportunities for growth and job creation in the European economy. I am concerned that, instead of effective approaches such as increasing the resources of customs bodies in particular, efforts are put into negotiating an Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement which will be ineffective in practice due to the absence of China and other states. Last but not least, any instruments for the better enforcement of intellectual property rights must, at the same time, respect the freedoms contained in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU."@en1
