"This proposal aims to strengthen the EU customs system to cope with the current rise in counterfeit goods entering the EU. Under the guise of protecting intellectual property and promoting innovation, this proposal is only meaningful within the context of the EU’s breakneck dash for competitiveness at any price. The EU is once again seeking to strengthen the law enforcement system, while at the same time imposing restrictions on citizens’ freedoms. This text, in some aspects, brings to mind the battle which was fought against the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). The amendments tabled by the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left were, for the most part, rejected. The distinction between ‘evidence’ and ‘adequate indications on the basis of the applicable legal procedures’ would have been essential to the acceptability of this proposal, but it was rejected at the vote. The only satisfying aspect of this text lies in the references made to falsified medicines, which represent a major health issue for everyone. I therefore voted against this proposal."@en1
