The UAE's Federal Customs Authority (FCA) is planning to revise the Gulf Custom Law in a bid to clarify intellectual property rights, according to a senior official.

The current law, adopted across the GCC in 2003, required a clearer explanation of the protection of intellectual property rights to prevent violations, said FCA general manager, Mohammed Khalifa Bin Fahad Al Muhairi.

The FCA wanted to include the revised article in all bilateral agreements for technical customs it made with other world countries, he added, in a statement on the WAM news agency.

The commitment "mirrors FCA's conviction about the importance of protecting intellectual property rights", Muhairi added.

The GCC is also currently examining the Gulf Custom Law in prepartion for the setting up of the proposed Arab Custom Union in 2010, the statement noted.
