烟草在线据《星期日世界报》报道编译　　最新的汇总数据显示，在成为非法烟草贸易目标的欧洲各国名单中，爱尔兰位居前列。

　　对于2013年未缴税的烟草，爱尔兰在欧盟国家中排在第三位，仅次于拉脱维亚和立陶宛。不过，自2012年以来，拉脱维亚和立陶宛的未缴税烟草已经大幅减少，而爱尔兰却仍然保持不变，为28.3%。

　　对于每包20支装的卷烟，爱尔兰的平均价格在欧盟国家中也排在第二高，为9.4英镑，而英国则比它稍贵，为每包9.94英镑。不过，英国也设法将未纳税烟草的水平从2012年的21.5%降到了2013年的15.6%。

　　高价格与未纳税烟草比例高之间的关联性很大，爱尔兰和法国的烟草价格属于欧盟最高价格之列，而它们的未纳税烟草的比例也是第三和第四高。

　　爱尔兰也是烟草产品税率最高的国家之一，每包卷烟的价格中，大约有78%为政府的消费税和增值税。挪威是非欧盟成员国，该国每包卷烟的价格为11.84欧元，未纳税烟草的比例在欧盟也是最高的，达到49.2%。

Ireland's illegal cigarette trade among highest in Europe

　　New figures compiled have shown that Ireland remains high on the list of European countries being targeted by the illegal tobacco trade.

　　Ireland is third highest on the list of EU countries behind Latvia and Lithuania for non duty paid tobacco (NDP) in 2013, however both Baltic states have decreased there NDP significantly since 2012, as Ireland's remains the same at 28.3 per cent.

　　Ireland also has the second highest average price for a pack of 20 cigarettes in the EU at €9.40, with the UK slightly ahead on €9.94, however the UK have also managed to decrease their NDP level from 21.5 per cent in 2012 to just 15.6 per cent in 2013.

　　The correlation between high price and high NDP levels is strong with Ireland and France having some of the highest prices in the EU - but also third and fourth in the highest for levels of NDP.

　　Ireland is also one of the highest taxed for tobacco products with approximately 78 per cent of the price of every packet of cigarettes goes to Government in excise and VAT.　Norway, who are non EU, charge €11.84 per pack and also have the highest level of NDP in Europe of 49.2 per cent.
