<div id="ygrps-yiv-2009367082">According to Her Majesty&#39;s Customs and Excise, the Italian waters of<br/>
Lake Lugano (or Lake Ceresio) are outside the fiscal area of the EC<br/>
(just like Gibraltar, Büsingen, Campione d&#39;Italia, French DOMs etc).<br/>

I assume this has something to do with allowing commercial activity on<br/>
boats to go untaxed in those waters (gambling maybe).<br/>
<br/>
I notice that HMCE refer to the &quot;EC&quot;, rather than the &quot;EU&quot;.  Does the EC<br/>
(European Community) now refer specifically to the part of the EU<br/>
(European Union) that is within the fiscal (VAT) area?<br/>

Dear all;<br/>
<br/>
reason why I call it lake Ceresio instead of Lake Lugano.<br/>
<br/>
In Italy most lakes have a name of their own (i.e. not related to any <br/>
city on its shores) from the ancient roman&#39;s times. In following <br/>
times a name adapted from a city on its shores has come into use.<br/>
<br/>
examples:<br/>
<br/>
Lacus Benacus=Lago Benaco=Lago di Garda<br/>
Lago Lario=Lago di Como (or Lago di Lecco)<br/>
Lacus Nemorensis=Lago Nemorense=Lago di Nemi<br/>
Lacus Lemanus=Lago Lemano=Lago di Ginevra (ok it&#39;s in switzerland) Lago<br/>
Sebino=Lago d&#39;Iseo Lacus Volsinius=Lago Volsinio=Lago di Bolsena<br/>
<br/>
Lago Maggiore=Lago Verbano (two names unconnected to cities; Verbania <br/>
has been created  in the &#39;30s by the merger of Intra and Pallanza.<br/>
<br/>
Etc.<br/>
<br/>
I realize that I did not introduce myself; I&#39;m 37 yrs old, hal <br/>
italian-half french. I alwys loved geography since I was a child.<br/>
<br/>
best wishes to everybody<br/>
