This change in legislation seeks to strengthen the protection afforded to intellectual property rights at borders. The adoption of border measures has proven to be particularly effective in the fight against piracy, given that thanks to these measures, every year it is possible to prevent the entry into the EU of large numbers of counterfeit goods. According to the Tax Agency, in 2013 over two million counterfeit articles were seized in almost 2,300 operations carried out by the Customs Department. The majority of the goods seized were articles of clothing, watches, glasses, leather goods, jewelry, perfumes, cosmetics, toys as well as electrical equipment and components. ### Contacts ![](/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/team/photo/10006393.jpg?itok=acyLpyoP) [João Miranda](/en_GB/team/joao-miranda-sousa) ![](/themes/custom/garriguestheme/img/iconos/email-contacto.svg)[Contact]() - +351 213 821 200 [Lisbon](https://www.garrigues.com/en_GB/office/lisbon) - +34 91 514 52 00 [Madrid](https://www.garrigues.com/en_GB/office/madrid) [Find more professionals](../team) ### Related services - [Intellectual Property ](/en_GB/services/intellectual-property) - ## Find a publication - [Administrative and Constitutional Law](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1422) - [Agribusiness and Food](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1417) - [Automotive](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1419) - [Banking and Finance](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1443) - [Corporate and M&A](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1441) - [Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A12823) - [Criminal Law and Internal Investigations](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1434) - [Data Economy, Privacy and Cybersecurity](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A10913) - [Dispute Resolution: Litigation and Arbitration](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1412) - [Energy](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A10916) - [EU and Antitrust Law](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1416) - [Family Business](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1413) - [Fashion Law](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1435) - [Financial Regulation](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A10915) - [G-advisory](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A12821) - [Human Capital Services](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1431) - [Infrastructure](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A10914) - [Insurance](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1438) - [Intellectual Property](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1421) - [Labor and Employment](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1424) - [Life Sciences and Healthcare](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1429) - [Media and Entertainment](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1433) - [Planning, Zoning and Environment](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1444) - [Private Equity](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1439) - [Real Estate](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A10927) - [Restructuring and Insolvency](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1420) - [Securities Markets](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1442) - [Sports](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1430) - [Startups & Open innovation](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1426) - [Sustainability](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A10921) - [Tax](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1425) - [Technology, Communications and Digital](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1436) - [Tourism and Hotels](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1432) - [Transport, Logistics and Shipping](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=service%3A1428) Facet Services detail - [Publications](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=publication_type%3A794) - [Newsletters](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=publication_type%3A107) - [Garrigues collection](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=publication_type%3A101) - [Laws: amendments at a glance](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=publication_type%3A104) - [News](/en_GB/markdownify/node/4886?f%5B0%5D=publication_type%3A105) Facet Publication type detail Min Max ## News search engine
