Fighting tobacco-smuggling through regional cooperation

June 16, 2015 by adminficci News 0 comments

The fight against tobacco-smuggling will intensify as a result of an agreement to establish  a regional mechanism for exchanging information on illicit cigarette shipments.  This was the key result of the June meeting  of Task Force Tobacco which operates under EUBAM’s aegis.
This meeting was unique as, for the first time, representatives of Customs Administrations from  Belarus, Georgia and Lithuania joined the Task Force meeting to share their experience with colleagues  from Hungary, Poland, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, OLAF and SELEC.
