Procedure

Structure and rates of excise duty applied to tobacco and tobacco related products (recast)

2025/0580(CNS)·10th term·ECON·CNS
Summary

This procedure recasts the structure and rates of excise duty on tobacco and tobacco related products, updating Directive 2011/64/EU. Amendments extend taxation to novel nicotine products such as heated tobacco, electronic cigarette liquids and nicotine pouches, setting minimum rates in euros and as percentages of the retail selling price, with updates every three years using the Eurostat harmonised index of consumer prices. They address illicit trade citing Europol and the EESC, delegated acts under Article 290 TFEU, medical-use exemptions, definitions closing loopholes, and coherence with the review of Directive 2014/40/EU on tobacco products.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
