Turkish bid to attract more foreign investment


The European Parliament’s international trade committee has welcomed Turkey reforms to its intellectual property protection of manufactured goods, especially cosmetics. In a detailed motion on the operation of the EU’s customs union with Turkey, the committee said: “Counterfeit products, particularly pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, represent a major problem in EU-Turkey trade relations and reduce the attractiveness of Turkey for foreign direct investment.” The committee said it “welcomes the adoption of new IPR [intellectual property rights] legislation in Turkey with effective enforcement, given the length of market approval processes for such products”. The motion also called for the removal of non-tariff barriers impeding EU trade with Turkey.
