1.Must Article 32 of Council Directive (EU) 2020/262 (Acquisition by a private individual) be interpreted as precluding a national interpretation according to which ‘own use’ is excluded, irrespective of the quantity transported, in the event of the acquisition of tobacco products for the purpose of passing them on to another person, even if the passing on is done free of charge?
2.If the answer to Question 1 is in the affirmative, Must Article 32 of Directive (EU) 2020/262 be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘own use’, taking into account the other criteria, in particular the quantity criterion, includes gifts to close relatives but not gifts to other persons?
