Question 16871 — commerce and crafts

Summary

Mr. Yoann Gillet questions the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, responsible for public accounts, on Decree No. 2024-276 of March 27, 2024 of the Government which aims to remove the threshold for a carton of cigarettes that an individual was until then authorized to bring back to France from another country of the European Union. Under pressure from the European Union, the Government once again weakens French borders by opening them to foreign tobacco. This decision is imposed by Brussels since the Council of State relies in its decision on a 2011 European directive on the free movement of tobacco. The MP draws the Minister's attention to the fact that this decision reinforces unfair competition against French tobacconists already largely weakened by a unit price of high package and the massive presence of contraband tobacco. He notes that, as always, when it comes to defending a profession hit by the normative madness of the EU, the Government is conspicuously absent. Furthermore, the MP specifies that this decision will reduce state revenue. He asks him to restore the rule in force until then and to have the courage to oppose the idiotic rules imposed by the bureaucracy European. Finally, he questions him to find out his real motivations regarding the protection of French tobacconists and the fight against tobacco smuggling.
