| (1) Inflow of Counterfeits | - Inflow of counterfeits into the Argentine market largely damages our sales situation. Moreover, quality problems of counterfeits can impair MFS reputation in the market, apart from damage on sales. Distributors handling certificates can be tied to crime organisations such as mafia and narcotic dealers. Taking an outright charge is difficult, in consideration of accompanying risks. | - It is requested that GOA tightens her border control at Customs Service to clamp down upon counterfeits, and develops campaign to dispel the counterfeits. | |
| (Action) - Since 2005 in each year, GOA has participated in "Operation Jupiter" under collaboration of Interpol and WCO, in association with police/customs/private enterprises of each country in South America to clamp down on counterfeits/pirating of copyrighted works. |
