EU tobacco deal needs thorough update if renewed
A lot has happened since 9 July 2004, when the European Commission signed what it called a landmark agreement with tobacco multinational Philip Morris International (PMI) to become partners in the fight against cigarette smuggling and counterfeiting.
That’s why Florence Berteletti, director of Brussels-based anti-tobacco lobby group Smoke Free Partnership, is against a renewal of the agreement after its expiry date this year.
“We were not opposed to the agreement at the time, but the world has changed enormously,” Berteletti told this website.
“The agreement is an instrument of the past.”
