The Smoke Free Partnership (SFP) and the Framework Convention Alliance (FCA) have submitted a contribution to the consultation. The following is a short excerpt:
- The SFP and FCA believe that the European Commission and the African Governments should acknowledge the immense social and economic burden of tobacco use to society, and the role of tobacco control measures to advance economic growth and the Millennium Development Agenda.
- We call on the Commission to:
- Promote coherence among its policies, so that decisions taken in one EC DG do not adversely impact on the work of other EC DGs
- Acknowledge the immense social and economic burden of tobacco use to developing countries
- Acknowledge and promote the role of tobacco control measures to advance economic growth and the Millennium Development Goals agenda
- Promote implementation of the FCTC by investing more on capacity building of local and national actors and promote exchange of best practices around the globe
