Meeting with Vesna Kadić Komadina, Deputy Director General of Customs Administration

On 14 February, AmCham met with Vesna Kadić Komadina, Deputy Director of Customs Administration, and her team in order to discuss possible ways of cooperation on improving the level of protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) in Croatia.

Following an open exchange of information and opinions, it was agreed that AmCham would officially offer to organize education workshops by its members who are holders of intellectual property rights for Customs officials, and support the Customs Administration by proposing the legal amendments that would help resolve the problem of insufficient warehousing space for holding suspected counterfeit goods.

Mrs. Kadić Komadina thanked AmCham for preparing the position paper “Recommendations for Improving the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Protection in Croatia” and expressed the readiness of the Customs Administration to closely and continuously cooperate with AmCham on better IPR protection in Croatia
