The law does not provide for the disclosure to the government by the tobacco industry of information on advertising, promotion and sponsorship activities and expenditures. This is not in accordance with best practice, as reflected in FCTC Art. 13.4(d). Since the law allows many forms of tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship, tobacco industry activities and expenditures on these activities are particularly important information for the government to possess in order to monitor tobacco industry APS activities. To align with best practice, as reflected in FCTC Art. 13 and the FCTC Art. 13 Guidelines, the law should require disclosure of specified information on tobacco APS and on APS expenditures in accordance with FCTC Art. 13.4(d) and FCTC Art. 13 Guidelines para. 41.

The PP requires advertisements to include pictures and text health warnings of at least 10% of the duration of the advertisement or 15% of the total area of the advertisement.

To align with best practice, as reflected in the FCTC Art. 13 Guidelines, the law should require that the health warnings be of equal prominence to the advertisement.
