WRITTEN QUESTION E-3513/98

by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission

(25 November 1998)

Subject: Counterfeit and pirated goods

With reference to the proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) 3295/94 laying down measures to prohibit the release for free circulation, export, re-export or entry for a suspensive procedure of counterfeit and pirated goods (COM(98) 25 final - 98/0018 ACC)(1), it should be noted that the system is faced with an unusual difficulty in that at Community level the scope of the rules is limited whilst the implementing procedures are to be laid down by national legislation.

For economic reasons, can the Commission harmonise that legislation so that the main provisions in this field can be applied effectively?
