F. DESTRUCTION OF GOODS, INITIATION OF PROCEEDINGS AND EARLY
RELEASE OF GOODS
Recital (16) to the Customs Regulation pointed out that its predecessor
(Regulation (EC) No 1383/2003) allowed Member States to provide for a
procedure allowing the destruction of certain goods without there being any
obligation to initiate proceedings to establish whether an IPR has been
infringed. The European Parliament Resolution of 18 December 2008 on the
impact of counterfeiting on international trade

Therefore, Recital (16) indicated that the procedure should be made compul-
sory with regard to all infringements of IPRs and should be applied, where the
declarant or the holder of the goods agrees to destruction. Furthermore, the
procedure should provide that customs authorities may deem that the declarant
or the holder of the goods has agreed to the destruction of the goods where he
has not explicitly opposed destruction within the prescribed period.

the applicant in each case. However, a general request made by the applicant in
