Question 5822 — commerce and crafts

Summary

Ms. Martine Wonner alerts the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the worrying situation of border tobacconists in Bas-Rhin. The Strasbourg-Kehl tramway (in Germany) has accelerated the exodus of customers to Germany. A circular of September 3, 2014 on tobacco of so-called community origin allows the circulation of a quantity that can be considered too large: own needs tolerated up to four cartridges per trip, one kilo of rolling tobacco and two hundred cigars per person. The Bas-Rhin tobacconists' union, which she met, is demanding the establishment of a poster campaign to promote the legislation in the tramway and especially the establishment of a twenty-kilometer zone within the borders allowing stricter legislation to be applied - purchase of two packets daily - legislation already applicable to workers border crossers. They also rightly demand the closure of websites selling packets of cigarettes on national soil. Supporting border tobacco shops and particularly those located in rural areas is a necessity and she knows that it is one of the ministry's priorities. It is essential to allow them to diversify their activities such as the sale of electronic cigarettes or the opening of accounts. Nickel for people who do not have the profile to enter the banking circuit. Consequently, she would like to know the progress of the work with the tobacconists' unions and her opinion on the feasibility of setting up this zone.
