India
In recognition of the growing trade in counterfeiting and piracy in the country, BASCAP began an engagement strategy in India to work with member company representatives on the ground to support their efforts in India and to work with local industry associations to generate greater awareness of the impacts of trade in illicit goods and to develop policy and enforcement recommendations for dealing with the issue.
India was added to the list of priorty countries for BASCAP engagement in 2012 in response to increasing member company concerns about the growing counterfeiting and piracy problems in India and the lack of government attention to these issues. BASCAP has established strong links to member companies' representatives in India and, with them, key national industry associations. Engagement with these local partners has included the development of reports and recommendations to the government and participation in conferences to present these findings to decision makers and leaders.
