Yet, current efforts to combat illicit tobacco trade are insufficient, suffering from several flaws and gaps at the regulatory and operational levels. The aim of this book is to provide an analysis of the legal framework and practice of enforcement with regard to illicit tobacco products. Combining criminological and legal perspectives, it presents and critically analyses the phenomenon of illicit tobacco trade, as well as the policies, legal frameworks and practices in six EU countries with regard to combatting this phenomenon, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of their approaches. Furthermore, it studies the relationship between the EU and third countries (e.g. Ukraine) in terms of how the EU can influence policy and enforcement in these countries in order to counter illicit tobacco trafficking. Not exclusively focusing on the EU, the book also includes an analysis of enforcement against illicit tobacco products in the US. The EU Member States analysed in the book (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands and Poland) reflect the range of currently available approaches. Some of them have ratified the WHO Protocol against tobacco smuggling; others have not. They belong to different legal traditions and face different challenges due to their respective border situations. While Belgium and the Netherlands are key entry ports to the EU, Poland and Latvia represent the Eastern land border of the EU, with various regional challenges. Italy has a long maritime border, where trafficking is possible from Northern Africa and from the Middle East. It also has significant experience in fighting organised crime. Lastly, Germany is the largest market in Europe and situated in the middle of these trafficking routes. 001444562 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 23, 2022). 001444562 650_0 $$aTobacco industry$$xCorrupt practices$$zEuropean Union countries. 001444562 650_0 $$aTobacco smuggling$$zEuropean Union countries. 001444562 650_0 $$aTobacco$$xLaw and legislation$$zEuropean Union countries. 001444562 650_0 $$aTobacco industry$$xCorrupt practices. 001444562 650_0 $$aTobacco smuggling. 001444562 650_0 $$aTobacco$$xLaw and legislation. 001444562 650_6 $$aTabac$$xIndustrie$$xPratiques déloyales$$zPays de l'Union européenne. 001444562 650_6 $$aTabac$$xContrebande$$zPays de l'Union européenne. 001444562 650_6 $$aTabac$$xIndustrie$$xPratiques déloyales. 001444562 650_6 $$aTabac$$xContrebande. 001444562 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001444562 7001_ $$aTosza, Stanislaw,$$eeditor. 001444562 7001_ $$aVervaele, J.
