The estimates are included in the impact assessment for the draft law on tobacco control, adopted by Parliament at second reading. The costs are considered to be, primarily, one-off expenses for the redesign of packaging and labelling materials, as well as for the adjustment of production and printing processes.
The draft provides for changes to the requirements regarding health warnings on the packaging of tobacco products. These must be positioned and presented in such a way as to be clearly visible, and product names and trade marks must not cover or diminish the visibility of the warning messages.
The Government will approve a library of images comprising the health warnings and other elements to be printed on individual packets and the outer packaging of tobacco products for smoking.
For e-cigarettes and refill bottles, unit packets and outer packaging must contain a list of all ingredients in descending order by weight, information on flavourings, the amount of nicotine released per dose, the batch number, and a warning not to leave the product within the reach of children.
The draft legislation applies to economic operators who manufacture, import, distribute, place on the market or sell tobacco products, related products, e-cigarettes, refill bottles, and devices and accessories for their use, refilling or heating.
