6 The ‘base of the tax’ should clearly indicate on what the tax rate or amount is based. If the tax is expressed as a percentage, the base of the tax is the actual value of the good that is taxed. For example, a sales tax that is applied at the final stage of distribution will be calculated on top of those taxes that have previously been levied. If the tax is expressed as an amount, then the base of the tax is the volume of goods that is taxed. For example, if a tax is US$5 per 100 cigarettes, the amount of tax is US$5 and the base of the tax is 100 cigarettes.

WHO assisted Montenegro in tobacco control providing logistics assistance in the realization of activities. WHO assisted in the process of creating, planning and coordinating, as well as presenting the activities implemented in tobacco control. Furthermore, during 4 years, WHO provided financial assistance in printing one part of the material on the occasion of celebrating International Day of the fight against smoking - May 31, and every year it sends electronic version of the material on the topic of celebrating this day. Material on the topic of tobacco control produced by WHO, was available, and WHO provided attendance at the conferences of coordinators for tobacco control. WHO provided technical and financial assistance for the realization of research of smoking prevalence in young population. Moreover, WHO coordinated in the Project “Strengthening the capacities in public health on tobacco control".

Stability Pact , through mentioned Project, financially and professionally assisted realizations of national conferences, technically assisted work on tobacco control activities (office equipping, report printing, literature sending, communications), provided attendance of national commissions at meetings, educations and other gatherings included in the Member States Project. Canadian Public Health Association provided translation of the poster text "mannequin" in Montenegrin language and printing, as well as some activities (T-shirt production with details of the celebration of May 31) for the celebration of International day of the fight against smoking during 2005. Every year, Institute of Public Health provides production of the material (translation and printing) on the occasion of celebration of May 31. Ministry of Health of Montenegro supports all the activities in tobacco control, monitors their realization, primarily through Commission for tobacco control, formed by this Ministry.

8. Priorities for implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on

Tobacco Control

8. Priorities for implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on

Tobacco Control

8.1 What are the priorities implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in your jurisdiction? (Please refer to Article 21.1(b).)

- Full combat against illegal sale of tobacco products;

- Conduct of adequate tax policy.

- Application of measures for population prevention from the influence of passive smoking

8.2 What, if any, are the constraints or barriers you have encountered in implementing the Convention? (Please refer to Article 21.1(b).)

What is taken into consideration is the problem of the application of measures for restricting the use of tobacco products due to the lack of resources. Firstly, the problem is in monitoring of Law enforcement. Namely, monitoring of the application is done by inspection bodies, the number of which is very small on the territory of Montenegro, and they are not able to fully realize measures for prohibition of tobacco products use in accordance with Law. Besides, public spaces, in which the use of tobacco products is restricted by Law, are not technically equipped for the application of measures for restricting the use of tobacco products.

We are still not in a position to apply measures for control the structure of tobacco products, because of the lack of technical equipment.
