A tracking system follows the movement of illegal tobacco products

Vytenis Andriukaitis, Commissioner for Health and Food Safety of the European Commission, said that the new system also ensures that tobacco products meet certain safety requirements, with each package having at least five elements of authenticity. (MTI)
