On 22 January at 10.30, the hearing will bring together MEPs, lawyers and experts in the field of customs. The first panel will look into different customs sanctioning systems in the member states, with particular attention to the liability and the thresholds to distinguish criminal/non-criminal infringements and sanctions. The second panel will discuss the impact of the absence of an EU legal framework for customs sanctions on the single market and on the economic operators.
