Questionnaire on counterfeits

 

 

Petra Herkul, Chair of the MARQUES Anti-Counterfeiting and Parallel Trade Team, invites MARQUES in-house members to complete a short questionnaire on counterfeiting


The Customs Cooperation Working Party (CCWP) of the Council of the EU is seeking better understanding on the trade of fake labels and packaging materials.
