Spain is committed to fight against counterfeiting in Europe

12.03.2014

The Council of Ministers, through Royal Decree of 31st of January, 2014,(Royal Decree 54/2014), that creates and regulates the Intersectoral Commission against intellectual property rights infringements, created a new Intersectoral Commission called: “The Intersectoral Commission to act against behaviours that infringe intellectual property rights”, with the objective of “acting against behaviours that infringe intellectual property rights”. This commission replaces the previous one, created in 2005, with the same name and dependent of the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism. This is a new step in the European fight against counterfeiting by coordinating community institutions and international organizations to prevent and eradicate behaviours that infringe IP rights. More specifically, the Commission will be working closely with the “European counterfeiting and piracy observatory”, in order to reach the European objectives.

It has to be emphasized, on the other hand, that this Commission functions more rapidly because of its structure with plenary discussions and working groups (on awareness, statistics, and normative). The Intersectoral Commission is composed of representatives of the General Administration, Autonomous Communities, provinces as well as members of the Council of Consumers and Users and other consumers protection institutions.

The coordination among the public sector and private institutions in this field will not entail any increase in Public Spending, as all the necessary means will be provided by the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office.
