Question 14309 — consumption

Summary

Mr. Pierre Morel-À-L'Huissier draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the illicit cigarette market. Indeed, France is the country most affected in Europe by this phenomenon: more than 7.61 billion cigarettes consumed in France come from contraband, a quarter of which come from Algeria. It appears that this will get even worse in 2018, a possible consequence of recent increases in tobacco prices in the framework of public health campaigns. Far from benefiting the State, this increase appears to favor illicit trade, which generates an annual loss of tax revenue of more than 2 billion euros. The network of distributors is therefore doubly destabilized; The closures of these local shops par excellence, often the last activity in many rural villages, are accelerating. The territories border workers are particularly affected. He therefore wishes to ask what measures have been implemented to effectively combat this smuggling.
