(5), art. 25 of Law no. 278/2007 on tobacco control.
The message sent to the authorities is that the private sector needs predictability and stability, especially in this period of crisis, but also the need to elaborate and establish clear rules and regulations, being prior consulted with the private sector.
The conclusion of the meeting is that Law no. 278/2007 on tobacco control is to be revised, in order to bring clarity in the process of its implementation, but also the need to grant a transition period to the business in order to comply exactly.
