JURI vote tomorrow

[matt1988]

Im suprised this hasn't been posted (or I just haven't seen it)

JURI will vote tomorrow on article 18 of the TPD. They had a hearing today, I must say I didn't watch it, but what has been said on UKV is they seem to have taken a liking to Rebecca Taylor's ammendments. They also suggested that by restricting access to a nicotine product that reduces harm, whilst tobacco products are still widely availble was stupidity. 

They did originally look at removing article 18 completely but doesn't sound like they will now.

Anyway the voting starts tomorrow, this is number 4 on the agenda and they start at 9 am. So don't know exactly what time they will vote on the TPD.

This is great news if thehposts on UKV are an accurate relay of the meeting/hearing.

Thanks for the heads up, i've just read the thread on UKV and it seems to be going in our favour so far.

Nice one Matt. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Sorry AAEC, off to UKV for five minutes. please let me back in

So apparently show begins at 0900 and voting around 0945 our time so an early start to watch voting - if you'd ever said to me before now I'd be watching voting I'd have thought you were barmy.

Of course bright and early for me is 0430ish, my normal wide awake wishing to be asleep sort of time.

Thanks very much for letting us know  matt1988. I've now read the thread on ukv - it looks promising.

Got this from the afore mentioned forun. A tweet from Rebecca Taylor

@thesmokersangel #ecigs compromise went through : ) but too many pro-tobacco industry amendments also adopted : ( #health #tobacco #TPD

Sounds good to me. Now hopefully ENVI focus on the harmful product and leave us alone. Heres to hoping. Once we have the full details ECCA will write a post explaining (hopefully) what this means for vaping/e-cigarettes
