Europol’s Intellectual Property Crime Unit Wins the 2015 Global Anti-counterfeiting Awards
On World Anti-Counterfeiting Day, Europol’s Intellectual Property Crime Unit – Focal Point (FP) COPY, was declared the winner of the 2015 Global Anti-Counterfeiting Group Awards – International Public Body Category, for the outstanding results achieved in combating counterfeiting and piracy. The Global Anti-counterfeiting Group (GACG) is a network of national and regional IP protection and enforcement organisations gathering 21 members covering 40 countries.
Full text of the news from Europol.
Counterfeit and pirated goods could cost the global economy up to €1 trillion per year according to some estimates, and this translates into loss of legal employment, lack of investment in new jobs and increased prices of legal goods. It also means less public funding for services such as health, education and social welfare. Cases supported by FP Copy show the involvement of organised crime groups, often carrying other types of criminal activities such as trafficking in human beings or money laundering.
