lpv:spoken text	"Question 28 by Jim Higgins () Is the Commission concerned that there is an alarming level of smuggling of illegal cigarettes into countries like Ireland from third countries? The effect of this is that the EU is losing out on customs revenue, which is an important source of finance, given that it makes up 15% of the EU budget. Member States are also losing out on excise duties. Does the Commission have any plans to enable, or indeed force, Member States to increase their checks at external EU borders, in order to tackle the issue of customs fraud?"@en1
