"New Weapons in the Fight against Counterfeiting in the Heart of Europe", which ECTA is organising on 7 September 2007, to examine the Belgian anti-counterfeiting law of 18 July 2007. Says Marius: "The Round Table will be the ideal opportunity for right holders and their representatives to share views with officials and magistrates in an academic, but yet relaxed atmosphere.If you want to register, click here.
