The EU's flagship Tobacco Products Directive(TPD) is up for a scheduled review in 2021,
but MEP Cristian Bușoi(EPP, Romania)
is determined to start preparing the review now alongside his parliamentary colleagues.
According to Bușoi, such early preparation is particularly important so that
the European Parliament and the European Commission can work together for the 2021 review in a collaborative approach, free from tobacco industry influence.
