In 2004 the Council and European Parliament adopted an Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED). To make fast adoption possible (before 10 new members joined the EU), criminal penalties were taken out. Now these criminal penalties are back in 2 new proposals. Often these are referred to as IPRED 2. The official name is:

Proposal for a EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL DIRECTIVE on criminal measures aimed at ensuring the enforcement of intellectual property rights

Proposal for a COUNCIL FRAMEWORK DECISION to strengthen the criminal law framework to combat intellectual property offences

The proposals lack proper justification, the justification given is just one A4 long. The subsidiarity principle is violated. There is no need for the proposals, piracy is already prohibited in European countries. In some cases, penalties go up a 100 times. There is no indication at all that this is needed.
