The Tax Free World Association has joined forces with French manufacturers’ union Unifab to discuss the growing threat of counterfeit goods to the duty-free and travel-retail industry at the 30th annual TFWA World Exhibition and Conference. Unifab vice-presidents Maître Emmanuelle Hoffman and Philippe Lacoste joined Nestor Martinez-Aguado, responsible for intellectual property at the French Foreign Ministry, to speak at a working lunch today at the Majestic Hotel in Cannes.
Hoffman outlined the growing threat of the illegal manufacturing of counterfeit goods pointing out that last year 36m fake products were seized in Europe, while internationally, that figure was a whopping 3bn.
