The Council also invited the Observatory to publish each year a comprehensive annual report covering the scope, scale and principal characteristics of counterfeiting and piracy as well as its impact on the internal market. That annual report should not be prepared with the information provided by the authorities of the Member States, the Commission and the private sector, within the limits of data protection law, on the scope, scale and principal characteristics of counterfeiting and piracy as well as its impact on the internal market, as this would involve an onerous and unnecessary burden of expensive red tape and a duplication of existing functions, for example between local authority tradings standards offices.
