2. Report Information

              1. The intellectual property rights (IPR), Health and Safety Programme of WCO maintains its resolve to protect consumer health and safety, and continues to combat counterfeiting and piracy through a variety of activities described in the following paragraphs. WCO experience in this field is in line with the other international organisations working in the field of IPR enforcement, and there seems to be a shift of the modus operandi towards the use of small consignments thus reducing the numbers of large seizures, but there does not seem to be any significant fall in the number of counterfeits traded globally. WCO's main activity is to raise awareness about Customs work in this area either towards other international organisations or by promoting capacity building activities for our member Administrations. The capacity building consists of two factors; training through workshops and education and training through operational activities. Please find a list of WCO activities in Annex I.
