“…It is a topic on European and national importance. Although, as regards establishment of the EPPO, various experts have published both at the European level (Zwiers, 2011;Erkelens, Meij, Pawlik, 2015;Geelhoed, Erkelens, Meij, 2018;Winter, 2018;Ligeti, Antunes, Giuffrida, 2000) and at national level in the Slovak Republic (Šramel, 2010;Ivor, Polák, Záhora, 2021). On the other hand, as regards the Slovak Republic, following its establishment many polemic issues have occurred as regards its functioning at national level.…”

Establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office is a result of the European Union’s initiatives as a consequence of the fraud against its financial interests. Many questions beg consideration at the EU level as well as at national level of all EU Member States, including the Slovak Republic. The aim of the paper is the assessment of Slovak understanding of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. The article’s focus comprises five crucial issues that need to be resolved in Slovakia. The first section points out at the process of adoption and implementation of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. Consequently, the following section tackles with the question whether the European Public Prosecutor’s Office could be considered a law enforcement authority at national level. The third section is focused on number of the European delegated prosecutors and related competence and jurisdiction. While the fourth section is focused on the execution of evidence in criminal proceedings, the fifth section is focused on application of mutual recognition. At the outset of the contribution, the historical method of research was used, namely in regard to the genesis of the EPPO. The most frequently used method was the analytical method of research. This method was used in regard to the analyses and assessments of literary sources, legislation and implementation of electronic monitoring. Another frequently used method was the comparative method of research. Further, the synthetic method of research was used. Information gathered in order to elaborate the contribution was collected in particular through the three following gathering techniques. The first data gathering method was the review of scientific literature; the works of renowned authors was analysed. The second data gathering method was access to legislation. It should be highlighted that not only consolidated legislation was used, but also original versions were analysed, in particular in the case of historical issues. Third, research into official documents of European organisations was conducted, in particular documents of the European Union.

Combatting Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Most of the illicit tobacco trade (ITT) in the USA is caused by high tax rates on cigarettes in many states and localities and the availability of much cheaper cigarettes from low tax states and other low-tax jurisdictions, such as Tribal lands or Internet sales from domestic sellers or international sellers (who can evade all U.S. federal, state, local cigarette taxes). This chapter aims to give an account of how the U.S. deals with this and other problems of illicit tobacco trade, including both its successes and its shortcomings. The chapter gives an account of necessary aspects of regulation, and explains the enforcement side, including policy, applicable law, and agency involvement. Particular attention is paid to central challenges of U.S. efforts to fight the ITT, including prioritisation of ITT in comparison to other criminal activities, data on ITT related criminal activity, track and trace systems, and coordination among responsible agencies and levels of government.The Authors are particularly grateful to Eric N. Lindblom for his explanations of the US tobacco regulation and practice and extremely valuable comments on this chapter. Stanislaw Tosza would also like to thank the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University for the hospitality during his research stay which significantly contributed to our understanding of the US legal framework and practice as well as to agents of some of the law enforcement agencies analysed in this paper who wished not to be named. All errors are our own.
