Executive Summary
European Union's ban on duty-free sales is scheduled to go into effect June 30. The end of duty-free shops in Europe is expected to depress worldwide duty-free cosmetics and fragrance sales by 58% within the next four years ("The Rose Sheet" March 15, In Brief). The International Duty-Free Confederation has been actively campaigning against the ban ("The Rose Sheet" April 27, 1998, p. 12)
