瑞典火柴攻击欧盟间接禁止鼻烟的计划

  烟草在线据路透社报道编译  瑞典火柴公司攻击报道的欧洲进一步对袋装烟草即鼻烟立法,以尝试间接禁止产品的计划。

  《每日新闻》援引所谓的由欧盟委员会起草的立法草案称,希望限制在鼻烟中使用香料。鼻烟仍然是在瑞典流行的一种嚼烟。

  瑞典火柴的发言人约翰·韦德伯格说,他没有看到新欧盟委员会的提议,但是他说,如果该报告是准确的,这表明欧盟旨在通过不当途径禁止鼻烟,该产品已被禁止在欧洲其他地方销售。

  “名义上允许瑞典例外(豁免禁令),但是通过法律使制造业成为不可能,只能被解释为一种试图在瑞典禁止鼻烟的方法,”他说。

  韦德伯格说,禁止或限制使用不同的香味,意味着瑞典火柴不能以它期望的方式生产鼻烟,即以最适合消费者的方式生产。

  该报称,欧盟旨在限制如薄荷、咖啡和香草等香料在鼻烟中的使用,使这种产品对年轻人的吸引力更低。

  该报告称,提议的法案将允许国家监管机构来决定香味是否太浓了,但是如果必要的话会允许欧盟委员会介入。

  12月5日,截止格林威治时间11:30,瑞典火柴公司的股价下滑了2.7%,而基准斯德哥尔摩指数上涨了0.4%。

Swedish Match Attacks Reported EU Plan for Key Tobacco Products

  Swedish Match AB has attacked reported European plans to further legislate on tobacco pouches known as snus as an indirect attempt to ban the products.

  Newspaper Dagens Nyheter quoted what it said was a draft of legislation by the Commission which said it wanted to restrict the use of flavourings in snus, a form of chewing tobacco still popular in Sweden.

  Swedish Match spokesman Johan Wredberg said he had not seen the new EU Commission proposal, but said that if the report was accurate it showed the EU aimed to ban snus - whose sale is already blocked elsewhere in Europe - by the back door.

  "To allow Sweden's exception (from the ban) on paper, but make manufacturing impossible via law, can only be interpreted as a way also to try to ban snus in Sweden," he said.

  Wredberg said banning or restricting the use of flavours would mean Swedish Match could not produce snus the way it wanted to and in a way which was best for consumers.

  The newspaper said the EU aimed to limit the use of flavourings such as mint, coffee and vanilla in snus to make the product less attractive to young people.

  The proposed law would allow national regulators to decide if flavourings were too high, but would allow the Commission to intervene if necessary, the report said.

  Swedish Match shares were down 2.7 percent by 1130 GMT, while the benchmark Stockholm index was up 0.4 percent. Enditem
