Regulatory “Changes” in Europe’s Vaping Market Have Already Begun

Do you still remember that on October 8, 2013, the European Parliament in Strasbourg adopted the TPD rule? I remember that back then, electronic atomization declared war on tobacco and decided whether to regard electronic atomization as a medical product.

But today it was learned that the TPD is considering whether the measures taken ten years ago were flawed, which will usher in a new review of the measures.

At the same time, the European Commission has reserved the possibility of stricter supervision of electronic atomization in future revisions of the Tobacco Products Directive, saying that it should explore whether regulations on taste and other regulations should be further formulated or clarified.

(The EU is rethinking the rules for electronic atomization)

In fact, changes in Europe have already begun.

For example France recommended banning all flavors, while then-Health Minister Fran? ois Braun, president of the Communist Party of China, expressed support for a ban on use, The result may be known by the end of the year.

In Germany, the Bavarian government is pushing for an EU-wide ban on one-off, and the country's drug commissioner said the norme-cigarettesThe appearance and packaging will help reduce use by teenagers.

In the UK, in addition to pushing companies to apply for drug licenses for their products, there are plans to impose a new tax on electronic atomization and to provide smokers with electronic atomization starter kits. At the same time, one-time discussions are also beginning across the UK.

Even many Eastern European countries have imposed restrictions on taste.

It is expected that the TPD rules will change next as consideration begins to be given to possible revisions to the rules.

European People's Party MP Peter Liese, who supported an amendment to stop the classification of medical products in 2013, now points to the need to evaluate one-time to see whether they should continue to be allowed #p#pagination title #e#。

Like modifying the packaging? "It is believed that standards on packaging and format can be developed.

Since electronic atomization first entered the global market, with soft colors and tastes such asmarshmallowThis situation has changed dramatically, and these electronic atomizers are easily purchased from sellers all over Europe.。

However, the current TPD command only requires very few electronic atomization。Examples include nicotine concentration level limits, packaging and labeling rules, and child safety guidelines, requiringe-cigarette productsManufacturers and importers of 300 percent use a digital platform called the European Union Common Gate of Entry (EU-CEG) to submit composition, emission and toxicology data, six-month notification of new products, emission testing of electronic atomizing oils, etc. to relevant member state authorities. At that time, the 2016 TPD standard completely changed the electronic atomization pattern in the EU.

But the new reality has raised questions about whether lawmakers were completely wrong when formulating e-cigarette regulatory rules a decade ago, and whether the rules should be changed now.

In fact, this year, TPD3(Third Edition of the Tobacco Products Directive) The first steps in legislation have begun, but due to the" one-off "impact, members of the European Parliament are less supportive of electronic atomization than they were a few years ago. It is particularly common to be dissatisfied with the damage to the environment by disposable batteries.

Several characteristics for the future Moving towards possibility Yes: Members of the European Parliament have very high support for imposing a consumption tax on electronic atomization, it is only a matter of time, and the tax rate may range from 0.1 to 0.35 euros per milliliter; due to the" one-off "impact, Members of the European Parliament have a shift in attitude towards electronic atomization; the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation will also include pre-filled electronic atomizationthe cartridgeThey are also considered packaging.

In any case, TPD rules will have a great impact on the current market, and how to revise them is also deeply concerned by China enterprises.
