BRUSSELS Adidas Hender Scheme España , July 31 (Xinhua) -- The customs authorities in the European Union (EU) detained almost 36 million items suspected of violating intellectual property rights (IPR) in 2013, said the European Commission on Thursday.
The value of the intercepted goods exceeded 760 million euros, less than previous years, according to the EU's annual report on customs actions to enforce IPR.
Clothing and medicines were among the top categories of goods detained. Postal and courier packages accounted for around 70 percent of customs interventions in 2013, with 19 percent of the detentions in postal traffic concerning medicines.
Around 90 percent of all detained goods were either destroyed or a court case was initiated to determine the infringement.
Some countries were the main sources for specific product categories Adidas Spezial España , such as Turkey for perfumes and cosmetics and Egypt for foodstuffs.
"Protecting intellectual property rights is not only important for health and safety of European consumers, but also supports growth and job creation in the EU. The figures in today's report show that counterfeiting afflicts all products and that customs authorities do a good job intercepting fakes," said Algirdas Semeta, the European Commissioner for Taxation, Customs Adidas Futurecraft 4D España , Anti-fraud and Audit.

ROME, July 22 (Xinhua) -- Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on Tuesday signed 24 development contracts with a combined value of over 1.4 billion euros (1.8 billion U.S. dollars) to boost the country's struggling economy, a statement from the government said.
The investments included around 700 million euros (942 million U.S. dollars) in public money and 80 percent of them would be in the less developed southern regions of Campania, Calabria, Puglia and Sicily Adidas Prophere España , according to the statement.
The contracts were related to strategic sectors for the Made in Italy, Renzi told a press conference after signing the agreements with representatives of some of the involved companies. Some 44 percent of the value of the deals was covered by agreements with foreign investors, he said.
The prime minister also added his government was trying to give an "important signal" that it was investing in the Italian industrial policy. The agreements will create or safeguard 25,000 jobs in a country which counts some 3 millions of unemployed citizens, he pointed out.
Italy was still facing an uphill struggle to achieve recovery as shown by data released on Monday about industrial turnover and orders which respectively fell 1 percent and 2.1 percent in May compared to April.
The Italian central bank has forecast the country's gross domestic product (GDP) will increase 0.2 percent in 2014 Adidas Dragon Ball Z España , a more pessimistic figure than the 0.8 percent estimated by the government. Recent reports have highlighted that poverty rates have strongly grown in Italy because of the economic downturn.
Regular calculators made use of in measurement technologies techniques are not standard inside the sense that they are ordinary like the common or scientific calculator. They’re regular in the sense that they’re programmable and can be used to compute any calculations that are necessary by modern measurement technology. The standard calculators referred to possibly graphic calculators which can calculate any numerical computation when programmed to calculate such calculations. These calculators can plot graphs, at the same time solve numerical equations, and aid produce programs for scientific and engineering applications.
The recent ones are efficient enough to color output, animation, and interactive graphic representations in 2D or 3D format. These calculators are now the standard calculators employed in universities Adidas Dame 4 España , companies, private and government agencies, where programming are being carried out by students, professors, scientists Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 España , company analysts, statisticians, and scientists in numerous areas of research. The different producers of these calculators maintain connected with these applied and pure investigation organizations to find out how they can be of greater service to these institutions.
With respect to measurement technologies techniques, most are already arranged processes manufactured by scientists and accessible by way of the use of contemporary graphic calculators. In fact, graphic calculators are crucial to measurement technologies development. Most researchers and scientists count on these calculators for fast verification of their theories and confirmation of computations manufactured by outside collaborating agencies.
For much better efficiency Adidas Yeezy Powerphase España , these calculators are frequently connected to computers through a cable or IrDA transceiver for inter-exchange data and programs. Some graphic calculators have capacities to compile spreadsheets that integrate with programs like Microsoft Excel and other programs. The technology employed in the most up-to-date calculators released in the market is quite advanced and lots of have been anticipating much more models to be released on the market, so they can be utilized for analysis work.
A lot of Measurement systems are undergoing improvement or becoming lined up for new measuring strategies. Quite a few systems like time measurement strategies are virtually perfectly established and they are not expected to alter soon. The a lot more urgent measurement technologies getting focused on are sensors and sensor applications, systems for biological and chemical measurements, signal processing techniques, spectroscopy Adidas Pharrell Williams HU España , biomedical instrumentation, imaging methods, nuclear instrumentation and many other measurable systems in chemistry, physics, biology Adidas Iniki Runner España , engineering and environmental life processes.
