JTI EU Affairs bulletin 

home page ← Buzz@Bruss! Edition #11

We have established this bulletin to periodically share the latest developments from Brussels on EU policymaking, JTI business developments and evolutions within the industry. 

Our aim is to inform and stimulate thinking that leads to better, evidence-based policy debates. We seek to encourage collaboration and discussion across the full range of parties – policymakers, academia, civil society and consumers, as well the industry – so please feel free to forward this newsletter to anyone and everyone who may be interested in keeping up to date and join the exchanges and debates.
