The necessity of a carve out for tobacco control shows that health laws are extremely vulnerable to corporate abuse of investor-state dispute settlement provisions.<\/p>\n<p>from <a href=\"http:\/\/ash.org\/breaking-tobacco-carve-out-in-tpp\/\">Action on Smoking and Health<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tobacco Carve-Out in TPP, Major Victory for Public Health<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Removes New Weapon for Tobacco Industry<\/p>\n<p><strong>WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Monday, October 5, 2015 \u2013 <\/strong>In a major victory for public health, negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement concluded this morning with built-in protections to prevent private corporations from suing governments over anti-tobacco regulations. The victory comes after years of pressure from a vast coalition of health groups and pro-health legislators, including Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), to protect the right of governments to regulate tobacco without fear of expensive lawsuits. The tobacco industry, along with its allies in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other groups, fought hard to ensure that overseas marketing of tobacco products \u2013 the only consumer product to kill when used as intended \u2013 could continue unabated.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cWe would have preferred a blanket exemption for tobacco in the Agreement, denying increased rights for the tobacco industry across the board,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> said Laurent Huber, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health. <strong><em>\u201cHowever, ISDS was the most worrisome aspect of the TPP, and now the tobacco industry cannot use it to block or delay life-saving measures.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Malaysia proposed just such a full carve-out for tobacco, but ultimately could not achieve full consensus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The carve-out represents a sea change in the U.S. stance on tobacco and trade.<\/strong> When TPP negotiations began in 2008, the office of the United States Trade Representative insisted that no product should be singled out for special treatment, whatever the damage to the public. Under pressure from health groups, the U.S. offered a so-called \u201csafe harbor\u201d proposal in 2012, which paid lip service to the unique nature of tobacco but did little to legally protect regulations from trade lawsuits. A year later, U.S. negotiators backed away from even this small step after a concerted campaign by the Chamber of Commerce and pro-tobacco legislators.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1203\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1203\" style=\"width: 240px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/tc\/files\/2015\/10\/tpp.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1203 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/tc\/files\/2015\/10\/tpp.jpg\" alt=\"tpp\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ISDS clauses can be subject to corporate abuse.

The proposal was agreed to by the other 11 countries.<\/p>\n<p>The TPP, if ratified by the twelve nations involved, will become the world\u2019s largest free trade agreement, incorporating about 40% of the global economy. Once submitted, the U.S. Congress will have 90 days to consider the Agreement. Earlier this year, Congress granted the Obama Administration Trade Promotion Authority, or \u201cfast-track,\u201d which means that Congress cannot offer amendments but must vote the Agreement up or down. A small number of pro-tobacco legislators have vowed to try to kill the Agreement over the tobacco carve-out.<\/p>\n<p>The tobacco industry has a long history of using costly litigation to inspire \u201cregulatory chill,\u201d or a fear among governments that enacting tobacco control measures will be too expensive to defend. As ISDS mechanisms in trade and investment agreements have multiplied, Big Tobacco has become an eager user. One of the Parties to the TPP, Australia, is in the midst of an ISDS challenge launched by Philip Morris International over its implementation of plain packaging for tobacco products. Several other countries have held off on plain packaging due to the likely legal costs. The TPP is the first major trade agreement to carve-out protections for tobacco measures.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of a global treaty to address tobacco \u2013 the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control \u2013 trade ministries have continued to treat tobacco products like any other commodity, working to increase consumption while health ministries have struggled in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cWe can\u2019t end the tobacco epidemic unless we\u2019re all rowing in the same direction,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> said Alfred Munzer, Chair of Action on Smoking and Health. <strong><em>\u201cThe language in the TPP is a stroke in the right direction.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While good news for tobacco control, it is important to note that other important health regulations are not likely to be given similar treatment.
