tot het verlenen van machtiging voor de ondertekening, namens de Europese Gemeenschap,
                       van het Verdrag betreffende het merkenrecht
                      dat op 27 oktober 1994 te Genève is vastgesteld
                               onder auspiciën van de WIPO
                    (Wereldorganisatie voor het Intellectueel Eigendom)
                           (door de Commissie ingediend)
 ---pagebreak---                                       TOELICHTING
Op 27 oktober 1994 heeft de hiertoe bijeengekomen diplomatieke conferentie het onder
auspiciën van de WIPO (Wereldorganisatie voor Intellectueel Eigendom) opgestelde
merkenverdrag goedgekeurd. Dit verdrag blijft open voor ondertekening ten kantore van
de WIPO tot en met 27 oktober 1995.
De Europese Gemeenschap, vertegenwoordigd door de Commissie, heeft als bijzondere
delegatie aan de diplomatieke conferentie deelgenomen. Bij besluit van de Raad van
19 september 1994 is de Commissie gemachtigd om te onderhandelen over de aspecten
van het verdrag die betrekking hebben op het gemeenschapsmerk en op de deelname van
de Gemeenschap aan dit verdrag. Op 28 oktober 1994 heeft zij de slotakte van de
diplomatieke conferentie ondertekend, zonder evenwel het verdrag zelf te ondertekenen.
Opgemerkt moet worden dat op 16 december 1994 64 delegaties de slotakte en 39 staten,
waaronder negen Lid-Staten, het verdrag zelf hadden ondertekend. Onder de staten die
het verdrag hebben ondertekend bevinden zich tevens belangrijke handelspartners van de
Gemeenschap, zoals met name de Verenigde Staten van Amerika, de Russische Federatie
en China.
BELANG VAN HET MERKENVERDRAG VOOR DE GEMEENSCHAP
Het verdrag is van belang voor de Gemeenschap, omdat het van toepassing kan zijn op
het gemeenschapsmerk en op het Bureau voor harmonisatie binnen de interne markt
(merken, ontwerpen en modellen) te Alicante. Bij de huidige stand van communautaire
harmonisatie is het de bevoegdheid van de Lid-Staten om te beslissen over de toepassing
van dit verdrag op hun merken en nationale merkenbureaus.
Het merkenverdrag leidt tot aanzienlijke vereenvoudiging van de procedures :
•   het beperkt het aantal documenten dat de inschrijver van een merk bij het bevoegde
    bureau moet overleggen;
•   het schaft op termijn de verplichting af van authenticate of attestatie van de
    handtekening van de inschrijver door een overheidsinstelling van het land van
    inschrijving van het merk;
•   het voert standaardformulieren in die wederzijds erkend worden door alle
    verdragspartijen.
Deze vereenvoudiging moet ertoe leiden dat de kosten van inschrijving, verlenging of
overdracht van merken in een derde land voor de industrie van de Gemeenschap
aanzienlijk lager worden. De communautaire industrie heeft dit instrument altijd
gesteund.
Overigens is dit verdrag verenigbaar met het TRIPs-akkoord (Trade Relate Aspects of
Intellectual Property Rights - handelsaspecten van intellectuele eigendomsrechten) en
vult het deze aan.
                                              •7
 ---pagebreak---  Het in de diplomatieke conferentie gevoerde debat heeft zich toegespitst op één
 vraagstuk : het autonome stemrecht van de Gemeenschap'. De voor het verdrag gekozen
oplossing is bevredigend voor de Gemeenschap. Anders dan in het ontwerp-verdrag
 (document TLT/DC/3) werd beoogd, is de uit verdragspartijen bestaande Vergadering
 niet ingesteld. De noodzaak om bepalingen over stemrecht in die Vergadering vast te
stellen is daarmee verdwenen. Geen van de verdragspartijen beschikt over stemrecht.
Het verdrag kan worden herzien naar aanleiding van een te gelegener tijd door de
Algemene Vergadering van de WIPO bijeen te roepen diplomatieke conferentie. Bij die
gelegenheid zal het probleem van het autonome stemrecht van de Gemeenschap opnieuw
aan de orde kunnen komen.
MOGELIJKHEID VOOR DE GEMEENSCHAP OM PARTIJ BIJ HET VERDRAG TE WORDEN
Overeenkomstig artikel 19, lid 1, onder ii), van het verdrag kan de Europese
Gemeenschap partij bij dit verdrag worden2. In dit stadium lijkt het sluiten door de Raad
van het Verdrag betreffende het merkenrecht evenwel voorbarig. Het is noodzakelijk
maatregelen te nemen om de conformiteit van de regelgeving over het
gemeenschapsmerk en het Bureau te Alicante met het verdrag zeker te stellen. Alvorens
hiertoe over te gaan, moeten de reeds voorgenomen maatregelen worden genomen om het
Bureau te Alicante volledig operationeel te maken. Zodra dit gedaan is, kan de sluiting
van dit verdrag namens de Gemeenschap worden overwogen.
Het is echter in het licht van het voorgaande wel van het allergrootste belang dat de
Gemeenschap het merkenverdrag ondertekent vóór de sluitingstermijn van
27 oktober 1995. De Gemeenschap geeft hiermee blijk van het belang dat zij hecht aan
merken en aan de vereenvoudiging van de relevante procedures, en moedigt mogelijk
andere staten aan.
Door een bijdrage te leveren aan een gunstig klimaat voor het merkenverdrag, bereidt de
Gemeenschap de weg voor een brede deelname aan dit verdrag, in overeenstemming met
de wensen en de economische belangen van de industrie van de Gemeenschap.
    Zie document SEC(94) 950 def. van 13 juni 1994.
    Artikel 19, lid 1, luidt: "De volgende instellingen kunnen het verdrag ondertekenen en, onder
    voorbehoud van de leden 2 en 3, en van artikel 20, leden 1 en 3, partij worden bij dit verdrag : ...
    ii) Elke intergoevernementele organisatie die een bureau beheert waar merken kunnen worden
    ingeschreven met rechtsgevolg op het grondgebied dat onder het verdrag tot oprichting van die
    intergoevernementele organisatie valt, in alle Lid-Staten, dan wel in die Lid-Staten die hiertoe op
    verzoek zijn aangewezen, mits alle Lid-Staten van de intergoevernementele organisatie lid zijn van de
    Organisatie;...".
 ---pagebreak--- CONCLUSIE
Het is derhalve noodzakelijk aan de Raad voor te stellen om, onder voorbehoud van
goedkeuring, het Verdrag betreffende het merkenrecht namens de Europese
Gemeenschap te onderlekenen. Hiertoe wordt de Voorzitter van de Raad gemachtigd de
bevoegde personen aan te wijzen om vóór de sluitingsdatum van 27 oktober 1995 het
verdrag te ondertekenen.
                                       BESLUIT
Het besluit van de Raad van de Europese Unie krijgt de vorm van een aantekening in de

   Eigendom is vastgesteld;
