OECD calls on governments to clamp down on counterfeiting
Governments should work more closely with companies and strengthen enforcement to fight the rising global trade in counterfeit and pirated goods, according to a new OECD report.
Based on data from customs seizures in OECD countries, the report, entitled The Economic Impact of Counterfeiting and Piracy, estimates that trade in counterfeit and pirated goods across national borders may have totalled around USD 200 billion in 2005.
