He said that, while his delegation noted with satisfaction China's progress so far and the ongoing initiatives to tackle the remaining problems, his delegation remained concerned by the high level of counterfeiting and piracy and urged China to actively pursue its efforts towards an effective IP enforcement system. His delegation's continuing commitment to bilateral efforts to improve the situation was illustrated by the establishment of the joint IP Working Group under the EC-China Structured Dialogue on Intellectual Property, which would hold its third meeting in November 2006 in Beijing. He expressed his hope that this Dialogue, which had the purpose of solving IP problems that European companies were facing in China, would lead to concrete and tangible results.
