Summary

Explaining the emergence of the cigarette black market in Germany
Lampe, Klaus von



The illegal trade in untaxed cigarettes has come to be recognised as a significant problem around the world. According to some estimates, almost one third of global cigarette exports is funnelled into black markets (Joossens and Raw, 1998: 66), accounting for between 6 and 8.5 percent of all cigarette consumption (Merriman et al., 2000: 383). However, the problem appears to be unevenly distributed across countries and regions, with Germany, the focal point of this chapter, falling into a middle category of countries that experience a considerable level of cigarette smuggling but not as much as the countries that are most affected (European Parliament, 1997, 63; Merriman et al., 2000: 373- 374).
   

About CCC

The Cross-Border Crime Colloquium is an annual event since 1999. It brings together experts on international organised (economic) crime to discuss the latest developments in empirical research, legislation and law enforcement, with a special geographical focus on Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. The Colloquia aim at building bridges in three respects: between East and West Europe, between scholars and practitioners, and between old and young.
