Bryssel, 5 februari 2026 \u2013 World Vapers' Alliance (WVA) varnar f\u00f6r att Europeiska kommissionens \u201cAgendan f\u00f6r "B\u00e4ttre lagstiftning"<\/a> glider bort fr\u00e5n sitt syfte genom att \u00e5sidos\u00e4tta just de medborgare som den p\u00e5st\u00e5r sig tj\u00e4na och anv\u00e4nda samr\u00e5d som gummist\u00e4mplar ist\u00e4llet f\u00f6r bevis f\u00f6r att v\u00e4gleda beslutsfattandet. I sin bidrag<\/a> till kommissionens uppmaning att inkomma med bevis, WVA betonar att medborgarna m\u00e5ste st\u00e5 i centrum f\u00f6r EU:s lagstiftning och ges en verklig, praktisk chans att utforma regler som direkt p\u00e5verkar deras liv.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTusentals medborgare tar sig tid att svara p\u00e5 EU-samr\u00e5d i god tro, men n\u00e4r deras \u00e5sikter inte st\u00e4mmer \u00f6verens med kommissionens politiska linje avf\u00e4rdas de ofta eller framst\u00e4lls som illegitimma.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> sa Alberto G\u00f3mez Hern\u00e1ndez, policychef p\u00e5 World Vapers' Alliance. \u201cDet d\u00e4r \u00e4r inget seri\u00f6st offentligt samr\u00e5d; det \u00e4r att kryssa i rutor. Om kommissionen vill ha f\u00f6rtroende m\u00e5ste den b\u00f6rja med att respektera de m\u00e4nniskor den p\u00e5st\u00e5r sig konsultera.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

En nyligen genomf\u00f6rd Clearing the Air-utredningen <\/a>\u00a0avsl\u00f6jade hur en f\u00f6ga k\u00e4nd icke-statlig organisation har anv\u00e4nts f\u00f6r att smutskasta vanliga europ\u00e9er som svarade p\u00e5 samr\u00e5det om tobaksskattedirektivet, och st\u00e4mplade deras bidrag som "falska" eller branschdrivna helt enkelt f\u00f6r att de motsatte sig kommissionens tillv\u00e4gag\u00e5ngss\u00e4tt. Denna ber\u00e4ttelse citerades sedan f\u00f6r att r\u00e4ttf\u00e4rdiga att man ignorerade tusentals kritiska svar, och i praktiken behandlade den allm\u00e4nna opinionen som ett hinder snarare \u00e4n en resurs f\u00f6r b\u00e4ttre politik.<\/p>\n

\u201cDet \u00e4r djupt oroande att se medborgare som f\u00f6ljde alla regler och anv\u00e4nde officiella EU-kanaler framst\u00e4llas som marionetter bara f\u00f6r att de inte h\u00f6ll med.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> tillade G\u00f3mez Hern\u00e1ndez. \u201cSamr\u00e5d b\u00f6r v\u00e4gleda beslutsfattandet, inte anv\u00e4ndas som ett vapen mot de m\u00e4nniskor som deltar i dem.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I sitt f\u00f6rslag efterlyser WVA konkreta reformer f\u00f6r att \u00e5terst\u00e4lla f\u00f6rtroendet och f\u00e5 initiativet \u201cB\u00e4ttre lagstiftning\u201d att leva upp till sitt namn, inklusive str\u00e4ngare skydds\u00e5tg\u00e4rder mot att kringg\u00e5 samr\u00e5dssteg, st\u00f6rre transparens kring undantag och konsekvensbed\u00f6mningar, och en tydlig skyldighet f\u00f6r kommissionen att visa hur dess f\u00f6rslag \u00e5terspeglar de bevis och de \u00e5sikter som uttryckts av medborgarna.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
