    EU EXPERT: ONE SHOULD NOT EXPECT CUSTOMS BODIES TO MONITOR THE MARKET FOR COPYRIGHT COUNTERFEITS

    ArmInfo. The private sector should display initiative in the work
    with customs bodies to reveal and prevent counterfeit products in
    the market, said EU expert for customs control Chris Page at today's
    conference on raising awareness of copyright protection.

    He thinks that the companies themselves should inform the customs
    bodies of the forgery cases. The customs bodies' goal is to ensure
    implementation of the relevant laws and not to monitor the markets.

    Page said one should not ask them, for instance, whether they have
    seen Rolex counterfeits. One should specify what counterfeits they have
    seen, in this case it will be easier for the customs officers to find
    them, he said. For their part, the customs bodies should also exchange
    information with the private sector, as well as with their colleagues
    from other countries. Information exchange may be very useful in
    revealing the routes of forgeries from one state to another, he added.
