Fake sports equipments caused 850 million euros losses in the EU last year
The sale of fake sports equipment, such as footballs, sports helmets, tennis rackets, skis, gym equipment and skateboards, costs legitimate EU manufacturers 850 million euros last year.
A new study from the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM), shows that the sales lost due to counterfeiting of sports equipment –not including sportswear– correspond to 6.5 percentof all sales in this sector across the 28 EU Member States.
The study also shows that approximately 6,000 jobs are lost in this sector throughout the EU, as manufacturers sell less than they would have done in the absence of counterfeiting, and therefore employ fewer people. (MTI)
