The TAC Alliance welcomes the IMCO Committee hearing’s focus on unsafe goods in e-commerce. But discussions must lead to action. More must be done to protect European consumers and businesses from counterfeit goods.

Counterfeiting represents €15 billion unpaid tax revenue, 670,000 jobs lost, and billions in revenue losses for EU companies.

[Together Against Counterfeiting Alliance @TACAlliance]

We welcome the Commission’s communication on #ecommerce & its recognition of counterfeiting risks for European consumers and businesses. However, stronger enforcement is key to protect EU innovation and fair competition. #Counterfeiting

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

🛒 12 million low-value parcels come into Europe every day. 4x as many as in 2022!

We need to step up to prevent unsafe or counterfeit goods from making their way into Europe.

Our Communication on E-commerce outlines necessary actions to tackle these risks, including ⬇️

[Together Against Counterfeiting Alliance @TACAlliance]

While the communication is a step forward, more ambition is needed to tackle counterfeiting effectively. We urge robust action to protect consumers, businesses and innovation in the EU. #ConsumerProtection #togetheragainstcounterfeiting

💶 The estimated value of seized goods surged by 122%, representing a €1.49 billion increase in IPR detentions. Counterfeit goods threaten our economy, businesses, and consumer safety. Let's act now to combat this crisis. #CounterfeitCrisis #ProtectIP

🚨 New @EU_IPO report shows urgent need to fight #counterfeiting in Europe. Fake goods put consumers at risk and weaken our economy. More #EU action needed to protect innovation and ensure safe, authentic products!

👮 EU Police and Market Surveillance Authorities doubled their efforts, seizing 71 million more items than in 2022—a 106% increase. But the growing scale of counterfeiting shows we need even stronger action. #IPRProtection

The article misses the point: #counterfeiting isn't just an economic issue. It fuels organized crime and threatens consumer safety, jobs, and the environment. From fake meds to unsafe toys, #counterfeits are dangerous on all fronts  #TogetherAgainstCounterfeiting

Who is really being harmed by a counterfeit baseball cap? The is the customer being ripped off by the fake, or by the genuine article?
