Thank you.
I would like to come back to the issue of the more sophisticated excise stamp. I am pleased that the government is trying to fight the contraband of cigarettes, which is a real plague. However, I would like it to be more effective.
I was reading in the documents that the stamp would be issued by National Revenue but I also saw that the minister would be able to authorize stamp producers to provide them to some persons. Does that not entail a loss of control on who will be able to use the stamps? If the Minister can authorize stamp producers to distribute them to some people, is that enough control and will that be really effective? Would it not be better that the stamps be issued only by the Department of National Revenue?
