Position paper - Contribution to the consultation on the EU's Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List

The European Commission launched a public consultation on the Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List aiming to identify online and physical marketplaces as well as service providers located outside the European Union that are reported to engage in, facilitate or benefit from substantial IPR infringements.
In its submission to the consultation, AmCham EU identifies online and physical markets to be included in the 2022 edition of the Watch List. While this response is not to be considered exhaustive, it should prove helpful in bringing clarity to some of the different business models and actors present across geographies and which trade in counterfeited and pirated goods.
