1. Ensuring supply chain security: the role of anti-counterfeiting technologies
"Identification, Track and Trace Technologies" Workshop
Global Forum on Law, Justice and Development
Elena D’Angelo, Project Manager

2. The interest of organized crime in counterfeiting
Profits vs. risks
Easiness of replication
Trafficking network already in place
Source of funding for other criminal activities
Facilitates money laundering
Ensuring supply chain security: the role of anti-counterfeiting technologies

3. A complex response
Responses need to be part of the global efforts produced to fight
transnational organized crime in all its forms and manifestations

5. The UNICRI project Two main pillars
Analyzing the importance of technology in the fight against counterfeiting and organized crime
Share information with Member States
Ensuring supply chain security: the role of anti-counterfeiting technologies

6. First pillar
Analyzing the importance of technology in the fight against counterfeiting and organized crime
Research phase and contacts with technology producers
Obtaining support from technology producers to collect relevant information
Present success-stories
Ensuring supply chain security: the role of anti-counterfeiting technologies

7. Types of products protected
At first sight: the importance of Tax Stamps
An incredible variety of products
Tobacco products, spirits, beer, wine, medicines
Mineral water, soft drinks, edible oil, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, electrical switches, sockets, circuit breakers, dairy products
Oil & Gas and cotton fibers
Ensuring supply chain security: the role of anti-counterfeiting technologies

8. Countries and products’ protection
Tobacco products: Albania, Brazil, California State, Canada, Georgia, Kenya, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Michigan State, Massachusetts State, Morocco Mozambique, Turkey
Spirits: Albania, Armenia, Georgia, Kenya, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, Mozambique, Thailand, Turkey
The majority of the companies are active in these fields, as: SICPA, De La Rue, AMPG, Opsec
Medicines: Albania, Armenia, Malaysia, Turkey - SICPA, AMPG, Hologram Industries, Technarts
Beer: Albania, Brazil, Georgia, India (Dehli), Morocco, Sri Lanka, Turkey
Gas & Oil: Guyana and Serbia
Ensuring supply chain security: the role of anti-counterfeiting technologies

9. Countries and products’ protection
Armenia: also juices, dairy products, meat, tea and coffee
Brazil: also mineral water and soft drinks
China with French wines
Georgia also soft drinks
Kenya also wines
Morocco also mineral water
Sri Lanka: also edible oil, mineral water, soft drinks, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, electrical switches, sockets, circuit breakers
Ensuring supply chain security: the role of anti-counterfeiting technologies

10. Protection of security documents
Clear link established among document forgery, organized crime and terrorism
France, Germany, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Cameroon, United Kingdom
ePassports and other ID documents
Innovative applications in Benin and Ivory Coast
Ensuring supply chain security: the role of anti-counterfeiting technologies

11. Some data on systems’ application benefits
Albania: 2,000,000 USD additional taxes and revenues collected
Turkey: from billion USD in taxes and revenues for tobacco products
Kosovo: 15 mln Euro additional revenues after 2 years, tobacco smuggling decreased by 61% in the country
Guyana: considerable reduction in fuel smuggling and dilution from 8-15 % of samples to 1-3%.

12. How to improve the response
Dissemination of results and information sharing with Member States
SIRIO platform created in Geneva by UNICRI for this purpose
Representatives from public-private sector
Analysing how technology – including track and trace technologies – can support governments in improving responses to existing threats or possible risk scenarios
Ensuring supply chain security: the role of anti-counterfeiting technologies

13. Identify and analyse emerging and future security risks
Security Improvements through Research, Technology and Innovation SIRIO
Identify and analyse emerging and future security risks
Mapping technology innovations to match security needs
Raise awareness and inform policy-makers about risks
and innovative solutions
Common solutions
Ensuring supply chain security: the role of anti-counterfeiting technologies

14. Methodology Step 1 Identification of emerging security risks Step 2
Mapping of technology solutions
Step 3
Promotion of results

15. 1. Identification of Emerging Risks
Which technological solutions may help addressing the risks;
Technological feasibility over time;
Level of difficulty regarding required capabilities (i.e. skills, knowledge, resources, equipment, etc.);
Practicability from a perpetrator's point of view
