A new technical co-operation project entitled “Countering falsified medical products-Global Programme” (CRIMFAMED) was implemented by the Criminal Law and Counter-terrorism Division. Financed thanks to a voluntary contribution made by France, this project follows the Needs Assessment- Falsified Medical Products project  (NA-FAMED)

The main objectives of the CRIMFAMED project were the following:

1. Promoting the MEDICRIME Convention.
2. Improving and strengthening legal, regulatory and policy frameworks to be aligned to the MEDICRIME Convention.
3. Building and strengthening institutional and operational capacities for legal professionals and law-enforcement authorities through the HELP Course on the MEDICRIME Convention.
4. Improving and strengthening international co-operation in criminal matters by the setting-up of a 24/7 Network .
5. Facilitate co-ordination and exchange of good practices with European and international counterparts and Council of Europe sectors (notably Rule of Law/Law Enforcement) to co-operate, investigate, stop perpetrators, and break the counterfeit circle.
