China and Turkey only recognise trademark protection to a limited extent, so trademark counterfeits there were for a long time de facto tolerated. Since both countries belong to the WTO, however, they are officially obliged to combat plagiarisms, which in practice is inadequately implemented. Even an EU accession would not necessarily solve the problem, as experiences with the Czech Republic show. Collectors therefore expect a clear increase of counterfeit offers on the world market through the platform integration.
