According to the press they're going to collect the customs forms only if you go through the "something to declare" channel. If you go through the "nothing to declare" lane and still get searched and they find you brought something declarable into the country, they're going to fine you on the spot.
I'm flying to Rome next month. Hopefully on the way back those horrific queues at customs will be gone.
