Brussels, 12.11.2025. The European Union has failed again to reach a common position ahead of the WHO\u2019s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control meeting (COP11) in Geneva, as reported by\u00a0POLITICO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Denmark has removed the proposed ban on filtered cigarettes from the EU\u2019s draft position ahead of the WHO summit in Geneva. However, more recommendations under the so-called \u2018forward-looking measures\u2019 appear to be sticking points.<\/p>\n

These measures are designed to expand or intensify approaches to restrict nicotine products more tightly. They would include policies such as flavour restrictions and tax increases, among several others. This package seems to divide EU member states, with countries resisting more stringent regulations refusing to sign on to the broader agenda.<\/p>\n

Michael Landl, Director of the World Vapers\u2019 Alliance, commented:<\/p>\n

\u201cSome member states are refusing to budge on the ‘forward-looking measures’ because they know these policies would impose even more restrictions on consumer choice and legitimate products. These countries are standing firm against pressure to adopt measures that lack proportionality and evidence. We applaud their resolve and urge them to maintain their position through Friday\u2019s deadline and beyond.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With time running out before the WHO meeting begins on Monday, it remains uncertain whether the EU can find any common ground. However, Denmark\u2019s proposal will be presented to countries as a \u201cnon-discussion item\u201d at a Council meeting on Friday.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
