Prohibition of circulation and export of counterfeit and pirated goods

This procedure establishes rules to stop the movement of counterfeit and pirated goods within the EU and their export to other countries. It aims to protect intellectual property rights and prevent the EU from being a hub for the distribution of illegal copies.

This affects importers, exporters, and customs authorities. It strengthens the ability of authorities to seize illegal goods and ensures that intellectual property owners can better protect their trademarks and copyrights.
