Footwear manufacturers in Turkey held formal discussions with two government ministries in Ankara in February to address the problem of counterfeit shoes coming into the market.

Representatives of the ministry for commerce and of the ministry for industry met footwear industry leaders and discussed the extent of the problem of cheap shoes coming into Turkey with counterfeit brand names.

They spoke about ways of stopping these products coming into the country and the penalties that the companies involved should face.

More meetings are likely to follow.
