Cancun, Mexico, 1 – 3 December 2009

The Extent Of The Problem
• Counterfeit medicines, foods and healthcare products are killing people
• Counterfeit auto parts and electrical goods are killing people
• Counterfeit cement is causing buildings to collapse and so killing people
• Counterfeit agricultural products cause crops to fail resulting in starvation and death
• Counterfeit goods of all kinds destroy businesses, causing loss of jobs and loss of hope for a better future
• Problems which, in any environment, would be acute are more so in Africa.
