lpv:translated text	". As rapporteur on combating fraud in the EU, I welcome the important agreement with Philip Morris on combating cigarette smuggling at customs. Customs fraud is one of the main sources of damage to the financial interests of the Community, and fraud relating to cigarettes is one of the most vulnerable sectors. OLAF’s recent operations – such as Operation Diabolo (135 million cigarettes seized, estimated loss of EUR 220 million) – have demonstrated that customs fraud can and must be combated: it is important to strengthen the operational capabilities of the European authorities. The agreement with Philip Morris may serve as an example not only in the field of tobacco, but also in other fields of combating counterfeiting. The proceeds of the compensation owed by Philip Morris, amounting to approximately EUR 1 billion, ought to be used to step up the fight against counterfeiting in the EU."@en1
