Finance Minister Gunter Mayr made it clear that product piracy was not a cavalier offense. He explained: "These counterfeits damage the honest company and with mostly less quality consumers." The fake products were confiscated and the rights holders were informed accordingly. This successful use is an example of the efforts of customs to protect the integrity of branded articles, also reported ots.at
