Japan, the United States and the European Union are planning to reinforce countermeasures against the illicit trade in counterfeit products in cooperation with online marketplace operators, sources familiar with the matter said.
With the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development playing a central role in the move, the like-minded partners will cooperate with online marketplace operators such as Amazon.com Inc. and Rakuten Group Inc. and aim to formulate guidelines in 2025 or later to prevent fake brand goods from being traded online.
The sources said discussing countermeasures with the involvement of online marketplace operators is significant, since it is difficult for the OECD, which is primarily made up of high-income economies, to put pressure on online merchants in emerging countries.
