Factsheet
2005/0127 (COD)
Amended proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on criminal measures aimed at ensuring the enforcement of intellectual property rights
- the directive does not make any distinction between piracy and ambiguous infringements of "intellectual property" rights
- decent people can be treated as organised criminals
- the legal means to combat piracy and counterfeiting are already available
- beyond clear cases of piracy and counterfeiting civil sanctions are sufficient
- contestable and weak rights gain great threath potential
- desired freedom to act in the market is inhibited
- the proposal has an open end: all existing and future "IP-rights" are covered, it is a carte blanche
- the proposal is not essential, the Community lacks competence
