"It is high time substantial action was taken to protect the intellectual property rights associated with trademarks. We already have a lot of legislation in this area, so the proposed amendments need to take account of the complicated nature of the current situation. Protection of intellectual property rights takes on special significance in view of the very far-reaching effects of opening up the European market and the recognition of innovation as the main way to achieve economic growth.
Counterfeit goods are a result of the grey market – they are not subject to customs controls and do not meet applicable standards in terms of established quality norms, and so do not meet health and safety criteria. Protecting intellectual property rights and reducing the inflow of counterfeit goods will help create fairer conditions for competition and encourage growth in jobs, while also helping to increase tax revenues. Special measures are required for international postal traffic involving medicines. Intellectual property also has a broader aspect, which is hard to understand in terms of the free single market. Further action and measures are needed in this area. Protecting intellectual property rights is not just a matter of combating the problem of counterfeit goods – the whole area needs to be made the subject of a public information campaign."@en1
