Text tabled : A7-0046/2012

  Licia Ronzulli (PPE), in writing. – (IT) The number of cases of counterfeiting and piracy in Europe almost doubled from 2009 to 2010 and, for this reason, it is necessary to take prompt action to put the brakes on this phenomenon, by improving the tools to protect intellectual property rights that are available to customs authorities. The increase in international trade in counterfeit goods is jeopardising economic growth and the availability of jobs in the European Union, since piracy and counterfeiting, by themselves, account for an annual cost to European businesses of approximately EUR 250 billion.
