The US Trade Representative (USTR) has maintained Lebanon on the Watch List for piracy of intellectual property, along with 25 other countries and jurisdictions, The Daily Star has reported. The USTR placed Lebanon on the Watch List in 1999 and then moved it to the more critical Priority Watch List in 2001, where it remained until 2007. The country was then upgraded to the Watch List in 2008. Countries from the Middle East and Africa on this year's Watch List are Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon and Turkey, while Algeria and Israel remained on the more critical Priority Watch List.
