    Tobacco Europe   (TE)

    Goals / Remit

    Tobacco Europe is a non commercial association which was formed to represent the common views of major European–based cigarette manufacturers. TE's three Full Members are British American Tobacco, JT International and Imperial Tobacco. TE membership comprises also 12 National Manufacturers Associations (Belgium/Luxembourg, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom) and two Observer members.

    TE seeks to promote on-going dialogue with EU institutions and participates constructively in EU decision-making processes and tobacco related policy formulation.
    Established in 1989, TE has a long and well established tradition of dialogue with tobacco policy makers. TE member companies are strongly committed to dialogue with regulators and support proportionate and reasonable tobacco regulations. TE member companies believe that reasonable and workable regulation of tobacco products is best accomplished through consultation with the industry.

    TE is the primary source of tobacco expertise in the EU and can offer regulators unparalleled access to the three principal member companies’ combined experience, covering a wide range of tobacco related data and information. TE serves as an off-competition platform for exchanging views and discussing proposed regulations which enables its members to define balanced common positions.

    TE establishes pro-active co-operation with other pan-European tobacco manufacturers’ associations and where appropriate presents joint positions to regulators. As a result, TE is well placed to contribute constructively to the definition of tobacco related regulations.
