According to Emirates News Agency (WAM), the initiative is aimed at reducing the economic impact of software piracy by combining both education and enforcement strategies.
"The Ministry includes anti-piracy efforts among its key priorities and looks forward to partnering more with the Business Software Alliance to make our law makers and law enforcers more capable of addressing this crime," said Director of the Censorship Department, UAE Ministry of Economy Abdullah Al Hussain.
"It is important that inspectors and other key government authorities be taught the proper skills in handling software piracy cases as they ultimately recommend and enforce the appropriate disciplinary actions. Initiatives such as these contribute towards achieving a collaborative approach to the piracy problem," added BSA Chair, Gulf Region Jawad Al Redha.
