\"\"<\/a>A task force on textiles established by the Ministry of Trade and Industries, on Thursday seized 230 pieces of pirated and fake wax prints from traders at the Takoradi Central Market.<\/p>\n

Mr. John Kwesi Amoah, a member of the Task Force who is also an Assistant Manager of the Akosombo Textiles Limited (ATL), led the operation.<\/p>\n

He told the press that the seized wax prints would be burnt in line with a United Nations Convention on seized goods.<\/p>\n

Mr. Amoah said some of the wax prints were designs of the country\u2019s textile companies while others only bore the brand names of the companies.<\/p>\n

He said traders had been sufficiently educated against pirated and fake wax prints and that there was no reason why they should sell them.<\/p>\n

Mr. Amoah said the operation was in the interest of consumers and textiles and advised traders selling fake and pirated wax prints to put a stop to it.<\/p>\n
