Article l9 states that "For the purpose of tobacco control, the Parties shall consider taking legislative a'ction or promoting their existing laws, where necessary, to deal with criminal and civil iiability. including compensation where appropriate." - It also includes a provision whereby the Conference of the Parties may possible, taking account of appropriate? international approaches to liability issues. What is intended to be achieved through this-Article and what issues are being raised? A Guiding principle of. the FCTC is-that "Issues relating, to liability,- as? determined by each Party within its jurisdiction, are an important part of comprehensive tobacco control.? Article 19 does not itself establish a liability regime, but calls on the Parties to consider liability issues as an integral element of their national tobacco control strategies to, ior example; deter non-compliance With tobacco laWs: to impose financial and/or other penalties prison sentences) for breaches of those laws; and, to look at potential ways to I'impose liabilityon tobacco manufacturers for funding ol-health-car'e and other costs relating to the use of tobacco products. ?on: Bill inoqv The FrameWOrk Convention Alliance (FCA) has articulated the purpose of Article 9 as being "both a cross-cutting'Article, in the sense that its effective implementation?wiil enhance the effectiveness of the implementation of other Articles of the FCTC, and an Article that includes a tobacco control strategy that is important in itsown right." 9503' Jotsmoi mo ?the perspective is that legal actions by Parties (and by privateinclividuals and entities) against tobacco manufacturers could have "potential positive results"; including: - 0 "Compensating injured parties, including both smokers and non-smokers exposed to tobacco smoke, their families, and health?care systems: .- 0 Compelling tobacco manufacturers to raise prices to caver their actual or anticipated liabilities higher - costsiower tobacco consumption. especially among children and teenagers. who. are 'niore price- sensitive than adults: 1* Educating the public about the health eliects of tobacco use - lawsuits tend to attract extensive.

We are strongly opposed to any measure which requires the tobacco industry to take on complete liability for health costs associated with tobacco-related diseases. It would be unjustifiable for governments to allow the legal tobacco industry to inanulacture and sell regulated tobacco products and to then severely penalise them for doing just that. And inmany markets this would give rise to serious constitutimtal issues. There is pretty much universal ax-vareness that the use of tobacco products poses real and serious risks to health and theserisks are clearly communicated to consumers. High taxes are already applied to tobacco products (up to 80 per cent of the pack price in some markets) - generating some billion for governments worldwide each year. - it is also interesting to note that even a?groiip of legal experts commissioned to advise the-WHO back in 2001 said that the application of a "pollute'r pays? type of liability system in the field of tobacco control would be fraught with difficulties. . . What Is our preferred outcome from A report that: Recommends against a global international liability regime - or one that at least acknowledges the many inherent difficulties in a global approach: and States that [riotential liability measures should remain an area for each-Party to consider in the context of. its own national judicial and legislative powers. iWhat materials ?are available for ydu to use not"?

What are our preferred outcomes for the Protocol? Our preferred outcomes in relation to specific Articles of the draft Protocol are summarized below: Licensing (Article 5 of the Protocol) .

The draft text in the Protecol relating to manufacturing equipment should be retained. - The international transit article should remain-and be strengthened. Customer identification and verification (Article 6 of the Protocol) Suppliers of key inputs and manufacturing equipment for the manufacture of tobacco products, should be subject to due diligence requirements. . . All areas of the Protocol should apply not only to the major tobacco businesses but also to small or medium-sized businesses. .
