    industry to gather in fight against counterfeiters
    November
    2005 – London (UK): OPI and ICCE (The Imaging Consumables Coalition of
    Europe) are to hold the industry’s first conference on the problem of
    piracy and brand counterfeiting.
    This International Conference,
    entitled “Europe Under Seige: An Industry Response”, will be held on 10
    May in Brussels, Belgium, at the World Customs Organisation.
    The
    event is designed to provide a forum to discuss how the imaging
    supplies industry has tackled the problem of counterfeiting, and to
    promote further debate on creative brand protection ideas that can be
    utilised in the future. As such, it is of interest to all brand owners
    and indeed everyone concerned with combating the menace. We invite you
    to be part of this unique opportunity of networking and learning.
    Phil
    Scrase, chairman of ICCE and VP of the consumables division at Oki
    Printing Solutions Europe, said: “These days, products and brand
    information cross the global market place at phenomenal speeds. ICCE
    now estimates that up to 10 per cent of the €30 billion imaging
    supplies industry in Europe market may be represented by counterfeit
    products.
    “At last we have an industry event that will allow us to
    get together, discuss detection enforcement and lobbying stategies, and
    find ways to really fight these counterfeiters.”
