of customs authorities that may suspend
the release of the goods or detain them for
the period necessary to ascertain that

(art. 4 commi 54 e 55)
Financial Law 350/2003
To strengthen the fight against
counterfeiting, the national legislation
(financial law for year 2004), provides
for the establishment of a multi-media
databank for collection of characteristic
data idoneous for identification of
goods to be protected
art.4 comma 54. Per potenziare la lotta alla
contraffazione e per tutelare la specificità dei prodotti,
l’Agenzia delle dogane può sottoscrivere con gli
operatori, su loro richiesta, convenzioni per la raccolta
in una banca dati multimediale dei dati caratteristici
idonei a contraddistinguere i prodotti da tutelare, senza
oneri aggiuntivi a carico dello Stato. La raccolta dei dati
di cui al presente comma ed il relativo trattamento è
attività di rilevante interesse pubblico ai sensi della
normativa sulla protezione dei dati personali, essendo
diretta all’applicazione delle disposizioni la cui
esecuzione è affidata alle dogane
55. Con determinazione dirigenziale, adottata entro
sessanta giorni dalla data di entrata in vigore della
presente legge, sono stabilite le modalità tecniche di
attuazione delle disposizioni di cui al comma 54.
An administrative decision dated February
28th, 2004, establishes that the multimedia databank is placed at the Customs
Agency and is feeded with data contained
in the protection requests already
submitted by the holders of the
intellectual property rights.
