MERANO CONFERENCE
There were a number of points which we discussed
at the closing meeting in Merano which were not covered in
the draft notes which I prepared. May I list them as an
aide memoire.
41. We concluded that visits to conferences
should be encouraged.
42. Dr. Green agreed to look into the possibility
of drafting a note on "co-operation".
43. Dr. Green will look into the possibility
of arranging a wider circulation of market
research data.
44. Coresta - It was agreed that Germany should
not withdraw from Coresta and that Dr. Felton
should continue to represent Switzerland.
The Group were concerned at the way in which
Philip Morris were using Coresta as a
P.R. vehicle.
45. Considerable interest was shown In the
B.& W. development in which small particles
of tobacco are separated from the blend
before cutting and re-incorporated prior to
cigarette manufacture. This is reported
to give an attractive product with some of
the filling power characteristics of
shattered tobacco cigarettes, and improved
ends.
46. In discussion of smoking and health guide
lines, the procedure for the transmission
of research data to Government and medical
authorities was thought to require
clarification at the forthcoming Chewton
Glen meeting.

associated.
