". – We support the intention of the Common Position to secure progressively lower levels of smoking across the EU, and welcome the ban on misleading labelling.
In particular we welcome the commitment to review the subsidy to EU tobacco growers: we urge that this review, prompted by Conservative MEPs, will lead to this subsidy being phased out very rapidly.
We are however against the decision to ban the manufacture of high tar cigarettes for export outside the EU. It is not for the EU to try to dictate health policy across the globe; the only consequence of such a ban will be to export the jobs of those involved, notably 1000 jobs in Southampton, 500 jobs in Darlington and 200 in Nottingham, while achieving nothing on the issue of health.
As a footnote, we would like to see a real example being set by EU institutions by calling for a smoking ban to be enforced throughout their buildings."@en1
