Download or read book Technical Resource for Country Implementation of WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Article 5 3 on the Protection of Public Health Policies with Respect to Tobacco Control from Commercial and Other Vested Interests of the Tobacco Industry written by Vera da Costa e Silva and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) and its Parties acknowledge that the tobacco industry represents a serious threat to the achievement of the Convention's goals and objectives. In fact, Article 5.3 of the WHO FCTC calls on Parties to protect public health policies from the commercial and other vested interests of the tobacco industry. All governmental sectors--including direct administration, with the executive, legislative and judicial branches, as well as indirect and autonomous administration--are bound to comply with Article 5.3. In 2009, the Conference of the Parties approved by consensus the guidelines to assist Parties in meeting their legal obligations under this article of the WHO FCTC. The Guidelines remind everyone that there is a fundamental and irreconcilable conflict between the tobacco industry's interests and public health policy interests. On the one hand, the tobacco industry produces and promotes a product that has been proven scientifically to be highly addictive, to harm and kill many and to give rise to a variety of social ills, including increased poverty. On the other hand, many governments and public health workers try to improve the health of their populations by implementing the measures to reduce the use of tobacco contained in the WHO FCTC. The tobacco industry recognizes the impact of these measures on its sales and actively fights against them. Time and time again it has used its resources to kill off these public health policies, water them down when it cannot stop them altogether, and undermine their enforcement when they are passed. This technical resource presents information to support the implementation of the Article 5.3 Guidelines by sharing practical action steps and best practices and examples applicable to the implementation of Article 5.3. It also includes links to supporting materials for easy reference. The technical resource should always be used in association with the text of the WHO FCTC and with its Article 5.3 Guidelines. The target audience of this publication is government authorities and employees at all levels, since the Article 5.3 Guidelines are applicable to all branches and levels of government. It is expected that coordinators and managers of tobacco control programmes will take the lead in the dissemination and application of this technical resource, helping countries to comply with Article 5.3. The technical resource may also be useful to people in academia, nongovernmental organizations and the private sector who are involved in implementation of the WHO FCTC. All the tobacco industry's tactics and interference with public policy-making are aimed at increasing tobacco consumption and are detrimental to public health."--Page 4.

Download or read book EU Tobacco Industry agreements and beyond written by Marina Foltea and published by Instytut Nauk Prawnych PAN. This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Podejmowane od około 2001 r. próby pociągnięcia do odpowiedzialności międzynarodowych producentów tytoniu za wyroby tytoniowe pochodzące z ich łańcuchów dostaw doprowadziły do zawarcia umów o współpracy z Unią Europejską (UE) i jej państwami członkowskimi. Porozumienia te przyczyniły się do znacznego ograniczenia nielegalnego handlu produktami tytoniowymi w Europie. Dynamika rynku spowodowała jednak zastąpienie produktów tych producentów podobnymi – nielegalnymi wyrobami. W swojej monografii dr Marina Foltea poddała analizie rolę, jaką odegrały porozumienia branżowe w zwalczaniu nielegalnego handlu w UE, jak wygląda rzeczywistość po zawarciu umowy oraz jaka jest i jaka może być w przyszłości rola pozostałych lub podobnych umów na poziomie UE lub państw członkowskich. Wskazując na korzyści dla stron czterech umów branżowych (z Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) z 9 lipca 2004 r.; z Japan Tobacco International (JTI) z 14 grudnia 2007 r.; z British American Tobacco Holdings (BAT) z 15 lipca 2010 r.; oraz z Imperial Tobacco Limited (ITL) z 27 września 2010 r.), autorka wskazała na ich krytykę oraz ocenę techniczną Komisji Europejskiej. Ramowa konwencja WHO o ograniczeniu użycia tytoniu (FCTC) – zwłaszcza art. 5.3 – i jej późniejszy protokół w sprawie nielegalnego handlu (ITP) miały znaczący wpływ na rozwój współpracy UE i państw członkowskich z legalnym przemysłem tytoniowym. Pojawienie się szeregu nowych instrumentów zwalczania nielegalnego handlu, wymusił przegląd zawartych umów z producentami branży tytoniowej. Dalsze działania zostały określone w unijnej dyrektywie w sprawie wyrobów tytoniowych z 2014 r. Zmiany te rodzą istotne pytania dotyczące dalszych działań: Jaka jest historia i jakie wnioski wyciąga się z umów branżowych? Czy ich korzyści są w pełni uwzględnione w TPD 2014? Czy nadal istnieje możliwość współpracy z legalnym przemysłem tytoniowym i jakie wyzwania należy pokonać w tym obszarze? Analizując obecne trendy dotyczące nielegalnego handlu wyrobami tytoniowymi w Unii Europejskiej, dr Foltea sformułowała zalecenia dotyczące optymalnych relacji między UE a podmiotami z branży przemysłu tytoniowego.

Finally, the book addresses the importance of policy coherence at a national level and provides critical viewpoint on the EU as a global health actor.The book will assist practitioners working in policy making and international negotiations affecting health, as well as students and researchers, to create a better understanding of the European Union, its role in global health, and the uniqueness and specificity of the EU as a global health actor.
