EU Observatory Workprogramme 2013, on infringements of Intellectuel Property Rights

Beleidsplannen van het European Observatory on Infringements of Intellectual
Property Rights: As such, this document provides the basis for evaluation, approval and launch of the specified Work Programme in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 386/2012.(...) In  2009,  the  European  Observatory on Counterfeiting and Piracy was established by the European Commission - DG Markt, to support the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights and to help combat the growing threat of IP infringements that continually jeopardise the EU´s position as a world leader in the areas of creativity and innovation.

(...) It became evident from the different contributions received that there is a need for the Observatory to maximise its knowledge base.(...) recognising that a crucial first step in addressing issues in the modern IP world includes building a greater understanding of the current landscape.
(...) Moreover, developing a thorough grasp of the role of IP in the modern era involves a vigorous examination of complex trends and their immediate impacts on business, including SME´s, consumers, the economy, legislation and society as a whole. (...) The Observatory initially established three specialist and professional working groups to carry out its basic aims of assessing the  legal  situation  in  the  EU,  delivering  independent  data  and assessments on the scope and scale of counterfeiting and piracy in the  internal market  and  raising  public  awareness.
