This WG will work to explore ideal ways to counter illicit trade practices. It will focus on the role of regulatory enforcement agencies, of the police and of other law enforcement agencies, but also on other aspects such as the role of legal frameworks in determining illicit trade practices as well as socio- economic determinants of the phenomenon. This WG will focus on best responses to the manifold challenges posed by illicit trade issues: enforcement, legalisation, alternative measures and so on. This WG will strive to understand, evaluate and improve such responses, from reviewing the capabilities of international and European law to examining the coordination between different law-enforcement agencies.
