"Mr President, I too would like to thank the Committee on Legal Affairs for putting IPR enforcement on the agenda of this week’s plenary and to thank Commissioner Bieńkowska for her clear response on what the role of the expert group and the role of the Observatory will be.
To create a digital single market requires action on IPR enforcement, as consumers require complete trust in the goods which they are purchasing online and that they do not infringe IPR. If you consider that 39% of EU GDP, worth EUR 4.7 trillion annually, relates to IPR intensive industries, which account for 35% of all employment in the EU, those who commit IP crime deny revenue to national tax authorities, damage consumer trust and discourage entrepreneurs and SMEs from innovating and investing, particularly in the digital space.
I welcome the Commission’s initiative and the proposed ten-point plan on IPR enforcement and the clarity on what the Commission’s expert group will do and what the Observatory does in this field. I am pleased that the Commission will allow MEPs to observe their expert group and hope that the MEPs chosen will reflect the range of committees in this House which share an interest in IPR enforcement."@en1
