The Netherlands became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on April 27, 2005. Dutch Customs and the tobacco industry have a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate in combatting fraud and smuggling of tobacco products. This MoU is concluded for an indefinite period of time. No evidence was found of high-level public officials attending social events organized or sponsored by the tobacco industry.
