The Lithuanian Free Market Institute has examined draft amendments to the Law on Tobacco Control and formulated its comments and proposals.
In its position paper LFMI notes that the project poses a risk of enforcing plain packaging principle on tobacco products and therefore, calls for amendments to the project so that the fundamental regulatory functions left for bylaws and authorities will be transferred into relevant legislation.
