Paragraph 2
2. Notes the problems of smuggling, trafficking and other forms of illegal and illicit trade, which are further compounded by the lack of uniformity in customs checks and procedures in the Member States and not only have an impact on Member States’ collection of customs duties and consequently on the EU budget, but are also strongly associated with organised international crime, threats to consumers and negative effects on the functioning of the single market, and which undermine a level playing field for all competing companies; requests, therefore, better coordination between the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), customs authorities and market surveillance authorities in order not only to combat these problems but also to curb the trade in products that infringe intellectual property laws in the EU;
