M ENFORCEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS – COMMUNICATION FROM THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
200. The representative of Australia said that effective enforcement of IPRs was becoming an increasingly important issue. In Australia, a coherent national strategy on enforcement of IPRs had become a national priority. She saw value in fostering a dialogue in the Council on national experiences in combating piracy and counterfeiting. The experience that Members would share could assist other Members' own considerations of the issues. Such a dialogue could also be a useful complement to the work being undertaken elsewhere. The Council needed to keep in mind that this was a sensitive issue in considering how to ensure that its discussions would be constructive. A dialogue, as proposed by the European Communities, the United States, Japan and Switzerland, would not necessarily exclude the consideration of approaches and concerns of all Members.
