Yes, it is my understanding that the heads anticipate a criminal sanction with regard to persons. That brings me to another point. Under the Customs Act, it is not necessarily the case that you have to confiscate items when they arrive at a port from another EU member state, but that is obviously an option. Members of An Garda Síochána and other officers can seize goods at the point of sale, like a supermarket for example. Again, this potentially circumvents the issues with enforceability.
