The TAC Alliance welcomes the IMCO Committee hearing’s focus on unsafe goods in e-commerce. But discussions must lead to action. More must be done to protect European consumers and businesses from counterfeit goods.
#TogetherAgainstCounterfeiting #ConsumerProtection
The hearing sparked insightful discussions on regulatory gaps in the MSR & GPSR, the role of the DSA, customs reform, and stronger enforcement against unsafe products.
#TogetherAgainstCounterfeiting
Toys, electronics, and pharmaceuticals make up 97% of counterfeit goods flagged as dangerous. Ensuring product safety and combating counterfeiting must go hand in hand.

We welcome the Commission’s communication on #ecommerce & its recognition of counterfeiting risks for European consumers and businesses. However, stronger enforcement is key to protect EU innovation and fair competition. #Counterfeiting
🛒 12 million low-value parcels come into Europe every day. 4x as many as in 2022!
We need to step up to prevent unsafe or counterfeit goods from making their way into Europe.
Our Communication on E-commerce outlines necessary actions to tackle these risks, including ⬇️
ALT A view from above shows a pair of hands gripping a rectangular brown package on a wooden surface. The shipping label on the package includes sender/recipient details and tracking information. Surrounding this central package are several stacked cardboard boxes and a yellow bubble mailer, partially visible in the top left. The text “Safe and Sustainable E-Commerce” is displayed in bold white letters across the center of the image. The European Commission logo is in the top left corner, and a row of four stars aligns at the bottom.
While the communication is a step forward, more ambition is needed to tackle counterfeiting effectively. We urge robust action to protect consumers, businesses and innovation in the EU. #ConsumerProtection #togetheragainstcounterfeiting
🚨 New @EU_IPO report shows urgent need to fight #counterfeiting in Europe. Fake goods put consumers at risk and weaken our economy. More #EU action needed to protect innovation and ensure safe, authentic products!

👮 EU Police and Market Surveillance Authorities doubled their efforts, seizing 71 million more items than in 2022—a 106% increase. But the growing scale of counterfeiting shows we need even stronger action. #IPRProtection
💶 The estimated value of seized goods surged by 122%, representing a €1.49 billion increase in IPR detentions. Counterfeit goods threaten our economy, businesses, and consumer safety. Let's act now to combat this crisis. #CounterfeitCrisis #ProtectIP
The article misses the point: #counterfeiting isn't just an economic issue. It fuels organized crime and threatens consumer safety, jobs, and the environment. From fake meds to unsafe toys, #counterfeits are dangerous on all fronts #TogetherAgainstCounterfeiting
Who is really being harmed by a counterfeit baseball cap? The is the customer being ripped off by the fake, or by the genuine article?
