Public awareness campaign on intellectual property rights
On 28 January, a public awareness campaign on intellectual property rights will be launched at the Macedonian Customs Administration. This campaign is funded by the Netherlands under the framework of a twinning arrangement between the Dutch Customs and the Macedonian Customs Administration.
The campaign aims at increasing awareness of the general public on the negative effects of counterfeiting for the economy and the consumer and that can even jeopardise the consumer’s health. It also stresses the illegal and criminal background of counterfeited goods.
