lpv:spoken text	"I want to thank the Commissioner for his very comprehensive reply. As he said, tobacco smuggling is a very lucrative business. There is a lot of ingenuity, they are perfectly wrapped, perfectly presented and perfectly labelled. Recently, I met with the head of the customs authorities in Ireland in Dublin Castle, and she told me that one in every five cigarettes – 20% of the cigarettes smoked in Ireland, a small country – actually comes via China, and that when they actually seized them and analysed them, they found a mixture of tobacco and canine excrement. We really need to tighten up our regulations. I welcome international cooperation, but we still have an awful lot of work to do. I would basically ask that OLAF, the EU anti-fraud agency, needs to be given increased resources."@en1
