"I abstained in today’s vote on the ACTA agreement, because I believe that we should wait for the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union on ACTA. The intention is for the Court to carry out a definitive examination of whether the agreement changes existing European law. I have read the agreement myself and I believe that this is not the case. In 2010, the EU seized 103 million products at its external borders that were most probably counterfeit products. For the first time the estimated value of the equivalent genuine products was also quoted, this being more than EUR 1 billion. In view of these incredible figures, I believe that we urgently need to work even more intensively to combat product piracy in order to safeguard the competitiveness of our European industry. A global agreement on the protection of intellectual property is therefore essential."@en1
