The emergence of the trafficking route is directly responsible for a massive jump in the number of cigarette seizures last year. . . .
He said most of the smuggling is done in suitcases, and an unknown amount of consignments were getting through. Customs believe the cigarettes are being sold to people from the Baltic states, through their own shops. |

Tobacco advertising: European Commission takes action against four non-compliant Member States
The European Commission today demonstrated that it is maintaining its strong line on tobacco advertising, by sending “letters of formal notice” to Czech Republic, Italy, Hungary and Spain for non-compliance with the Tobacco Advertising Directive 2003/33/EC. The infringements relate mainly to exemptions from the sponsorship ban which these four Member States have allowed when transposing the Tobacco Advertising Directive into national law. The Member States have two months to reply to the letters of formal notice and must bring their legislation into conformity with the Directive. Otherwise, the Commission will continue with the next steps in the infringement procedure . |
