The committees must take the lead in detecting and denouncing acts of producing and / or trading of fake goods, poor-quality products or IPR infringing goods. Also, they must take initiative in reviewing legal documents on counterfeit goods, poor quality products and IPR infringing merchandise as well as international treaties of which Vietnam is a member to see if there are loopholes or something missing so as to propose proper amendments and supplements accordingly.
