DAKAR, Senegal, 04/28 - Senegalese minister of Culture and Listed
Historic Heritage, Mame Birame Diouf, has disclosed here that the
government would soon submit to parliament a bill to enhance the
protection of intellectual property rights.

Speaking on the occasion of the International Day for Intellectual
Property Rights Thursday, he noted that the bill also seeks to set up
a national squad to crack down on piracy and counterfeiting.

"This fight is already bearing fruits with the customs services and
the temporary squad which are obtaining satisfactory results, " Diouf
averred.
