This piece of international law (to which the EU, and all member states, is a signatory) not only requires transparency around all contacts between public health policy-makers and the tobacco industry but requires that they are avoided and limited only to contacts that are strictly necessary to regulate the industry.4 Or put another way, as the Smoke Free Partnership's Florence Bertelletti Kemp does, "If you want to resolve malaria, youre not going to include the mosquito." Thus, MEPs, as with all policy-makers involved in legislating on public health, should as a matter of law - be having as few contacts with the tobacco industry as is strictly necessary to regulate them, and all interactions that do take place should be fully transparent
