EU legislation:
Excise duty fraud. The Commission has proposed a package of fraud-prevention measures in the excise duty field, in particular, the rapid introduction of a prior notification system intended to facilitate targeted monitoring. With such a system, any trader who sends goods subject to excise duty to other Member States will be obliged to give advance notice of these consignments so that the tax administrations can compile, assess and exchange the information with other Member States and with the Commission.
