A.BEFORE READING=> GETTING STARTED(P53)
A counterfeit is something that is forged, copied with the purpose of deceiving or defrauding people.
Counterfeiting doesn’t mean only forged currency. In reality, products of all sorts are being copied everyday by
counterfeiters such as: medicines, mobile phones, food and drink, and even car parts. These products are imitated to such
perfection that it is difficult to distinguish between the genuine and the fake products. (§1)
Counterfeiting has become a global phenomenon. According to statistics released by the World Trade
Organization, up to 7% of medicines worldwide may be counterfeits with too few active ingredients, too many contaminants,
and fake labels or recycled packaging that covers up expiry dates. (§2)
Counterfeiting is not without consequences. A study conducted in 2000 by the Centre for Economics and
Business Research estimates that the EU has lost 17,120 jobs as a result of the counterfeiting of clothing, cosmetics, toys,
sports equipment and medicines. EU governments have also lost a lot of revenue as counterfeiters rarely pay duties or taxes.
As far as companies are concerned, the loss in profitability is so big that most of them have launched advertisement
campaigns against counterfeiting. (§3)
However, since brands are too expensive, many of these consumers are obliged to buy counterfeits to satisfy their
needs. These consumers know well that they mustn't buy imitations because they are just like stolen property. They are also
aware that they must refrain from buying them because of their lower quality and lack of safety standards. And yet
consumers, especially those with low incomes, feel that they have to purchase them. In conclusion, companies had better
think of reducing the prices of their brands instead of spending huge amount money on advertising against counterfeiting.
