Fighting tobacco-smuggling through regional cooperation
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.
