Counterfeits

The art of the counterfeiting is an (0)……old….one. Nowadays it is a million dollar business, especially in France. Seventy percent of products (1)………..throughout the world are produced in France. The problem has (2)……….so serious that a French organization which was (3)…….in 1872 to protect the rights of manufacturers, has just opened the museum to draw (4)……….to this industry. It is hoped that the museum will also show (5)………..buyers what harm they can (6)………..by purchasing imitation products. Counterfeiting is not confined to forged money and watches. The museum has more than 300 exhibits (7)…….from luxury items through to toys, food, computers, electrical appliances, cutlery and even flowers.
