"The protection of intellectual property is, in advanced democratic societies, one of the recognised rights of authors, and the state has an interest in protecting rights that lead to the development of science and art, as well as research and development. Unless the appropriate measures are adopted to protect intellectual property rights, Europe, and therefore its citizens, will lose more than EUR 8 billion per year. The European economy focusing on the creation of new, innovative solutions is suffering from an influx of counterfeit goods from abroad, where companies do not hesitate to copy European products and then send their poor substitutes onto the European market. The hysteria surrounding the ACTA that we have witnessed in recent months, however, was based on a large number of untruths and attempts to deliberately mislead citizens about the true content of the Agreement. In my opinion, the protection of intellectual property is the protection of the competitiveness of the European economy and, at the same time, the protection of the jobs of people working in research and innovation. Organised groups of a commercial nature profit from counterfeiting, and this Agreement is therefore directed against them. On the other hand, ordinary citizens suffer from the fact that the state budgets do not receive billions of euro in duties and taxes, which could for example be used in healthcare and education."@en1
