    0 Dear M-- Steel
    TEE EUROPEM COMMISSIONS'S PROPOSAL FOR A COUNCIL DIRECTM TO BAN
    THE ADVERT"ISING OF T'ORACCO PRODUCTS
    The CB1 -s pleased to have an oppo=un-,ty to comment on the European
    CoMmjS S 4 - n
    On's aronoSa_ for a council di-rective to ban the adver-t.`-s__g
    of tcbacz~_ Droduc-_S.
    I am sure -zhat you w---'! have received many representations from
    n  -
    those Who are I .celv -~o be affected by the proT)osals, including the
    advert_,s_':-q _-ndus=_-y and the tobacco industry. The sectors
    themselves are best =-aced to mut -forward their concerns.
    There is, however, cne general oo-n+- of Dr_-nciple which causes the
    CBI concer7:: t~,e issue of; us'nq A-rt--='--e 100A to -,n-::=oduce
    a arovosa:. of t*--s -ai:uze.
    The CB1 wholehea=edly supscrts the creation of the sing-e market by
    1992. However --- is diff_-ault to see how the imnlementa~:ion of an
    almost ban on tobacco advert-,sing, or any other product which
    can be so---; lecally withir. t*-e Community, can be said to advance the
    principa- aims of the sincle market.
    Our concern abou- the use cf Article 100A is further heightened by
    the fact :hat muCh c-~ the s'_Dooz-_ for a total ban on tobLco
    advertlsinc comes from Member States which have a monooolv tobacco
    industry and, therefore, a commercial industry to protect.
    A dangerous precedenm would be set if the adver-tisina of a lecal
    product was banned.

    in each Member State there iis already a number of systems designed
    to control the advertising of particular products. Some Member
    States operate statutory systemsT others, such as the UK, operate
    self regulatory systems which by general agreement work very well.
    To replace these methods would undermine the widely accepted
    principle of subsidiarity.
