Tobacco Products Directive 2001/37/EC - update

Well, that's a turn up for the books. The powers that be relented and contrary to my earlier post I have now been invited to attend an EC meeting to discuss "the Impact Assessment on the possible revision of the Tobacco Products Directive 2001/37/EC".

That's the good news. The bad news is that the meeting is in Brussels tomorrow (Rue Belliard 232, meeting room 8/120) and I have been allocated five minutes to respond to a 345-page document that I have yet to read. It's going to be a long night ...

Thanks Simon. They probably sent it late so you wouldn't respond at all but then couldn't complain about it. If they want to beat us, they need someone less dedicated than you.

I bet the meeting is scheduled for a very early and inconvenient time. Good luck and thanks for representing us.

I read it two weeks ago. Usual crap. Tell then they're barking, that'll do. :)
