Illicit Trade In Tobacco Products

This note records the Chairperson’s personal view of the overall content of the discussions that have taken place during the first session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body on a protocol on the illicit trade in tobacco products. In accordance with decision FCTC/COP2(12) of the Conference of the Parties to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, the template for a protocol on illicit trade in tobacco products prepared by the expert group (convened in accordance with decision FCTC/COP1(16)) formed the basis for these discussions. This note is not, and is not intended to be, a record of the discussions. Rather, it is an aide-memoire for the Chairperson and an attempt to capture the general tenor of the views exchanged during the first session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body. In accordance with decision FCTC/COP2(12), a chairperson’s text will be drafted and submitted to the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body for consideration at its second session.
