Remarks of David M. Luna
Senior Director for National Security and Diplomacy Anti-Crime Programs, Bureau of International
Narcotics and Law Enforcement Af fairs
Good morning.
It is an honor to co-chair this regional meeting in Europe organized jointly by the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Customs Organization (WCO). As Chair
of the OECD Task Force on Countering Illicit T r ade (TFCIT), it is also a pleasure to welcome our partners
to mobilize our collective commitment to strengthen international cooperation across sectors to combat the
pernicious effects of illicit threats to our economies and communities.
The growth of the global illegal economy is one of the most daunting challenges we face today.
Nowadays we see evidence of how today's global illegal economy is imperiling many of our shared
interests. Illicit Trade is evolving into a convergence, a multi-dimensional matrix connecting an incredible
array of illicit actors, networks, black market facilitators, and complicit financial hubs at critical nodes
measured in space and time.
Tackling the issue of illicit trade in Europe and beyond has never been more timely. Criminal
networks that are engaged in the illicit trafficking of narcotics, counterfeits, humans, illicit tobacco and
illegal wildlife trade, pose not only an economic threat that results in loss of revenue for governments and
businesses alike, but also harms the well-being, health, safety, and security of ordinary citizens.
As these threat networks converge, we too must unite. In fact, the illicit trade in products such as
counterfeits, illicit tobacco, or antiquities sold across European, and other markets, fuel webs of corruption
and criminality – and in some cases, finances terrorist activities across the Middle East and Africa.
Reports in recent years have shown how the trafficking of cultural heritage artifacts, such as stolen
antiquities from Iraq, Syria, and Libya, have helped to finance violent campaigns by the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant(ISIL).
Other forms of illicit trade, such as organized crime and corruption associated in sport or
counterfeiting, pose considerable threats to European economic prosperity and physical security. Over the
years, counterfeit and pirated goods have not only helped terror groups stay in business, but have enabled
them to finance their attacks in Europe and other regions.
I hope that we can expand the network of the OECD TFCIT by adding new members and
stakeholders, so as to develop fresh ideas for countering illicit trade.
In the coming year, we also anticipate strengthening public-private partnerships to counter illicit trade
in Southeast Asia. This objective will be advanced in partnership with the APEC and ASEAN economies
through the APEC Pathfinder dialogue.
In closing, I offer my thanks to all of you and urge your continued dedication to this important work.
Your contributions to this policy dialogue will guide our common path forward. Thank you.

該法三十個條文中,除了確立原住民族語言國家語言地位,更讓族語老師以專職聘任,公文
