(18) With the aim of strengthening trade mark protection and combatting counterfeiting more effectively, the proprietor of a European trade mark should be entitled to prevent third parties from bringing goods into the customs territory of the Union without being released for free circulation there, where such goods come from third countries and bear without authorization a trade mark which is essentially identical to the European trade mark registered in respect of such goods. This should be without prejudice to the Union's compliance with WTO rules, notably with GATT Article V on freedom of transit and its right to promote access to medicines for third countries.
