烟草在线据BBJ.hu报道编译　　烟草制造商大陆Dohányipari公司说，大陆公司花费了12亿匈牙利福利，启动了在Sátoraljaújhely市的一家烟厂的小雪茄生产。

　　在投资新赛切尼计划框架下，大陆公司的匈牙利子公司获得了2.57亿匈牙利福林的拨款。

　　大陆公司的子公司说，在匈牙利开始生产小雪茄，是为了保住市场。它解释说，欧盟最近的一项指令在适用于制造烟草的消费税结构与税率方面对小雪茄重新给予了定义。这项指令试图对小雪茄等这些长期以来享受比卷烟低的税率的烟草产品实施统一税率。

　　据这项指令说，鉴于经济十分艰难，立刻实施新的定义可能会引起德国和匈牙利的经营者的担心，匈牙利和德国一起，可能会推迟实施新的定义，直至2015年1月1日。

Continental Spends HUF 1.2 bln to Start Cigarillo Production in Hungary

　　Tobacco maker Continental has spent HUF 1.2 billion to start production of cigarillos at its plant in Sátoraljaújhely (NE Hungary), Continental Dohányipari said.

　　Continental's Hungarian unit won a HUF 257 million grant in the framework of the New Széchenyi Plan for the investment.

　　Production of cigarillos was started in Hungary in the interest of retaining markets, the unit said. It explained that a recent European Union directive redefines cigarillos in the structure and rates of excise duty applied to manufactured tobacco.

　　The directive seeks uniform taxation of tobacco products such as cigarillos, which long enjoyed a lower tax rate than cigarettes.

　　Hungary, along with Germany, may postpone application of the new definition until January 1, 2015 "in view of the economic difficulties that immediate implementation could cause for the German and Hungarian operators concerned", according to the directive. Enditem
