European Commission, dragging its feet in implementing WHO transparency rules regulating contacts between policymakers and the tobacco industry
• UN Lobbing• During the last years, European Commission officials have had numerous meetings with tobacco industry
lobbyists wanting to influence the EU's Tobacco Products Directive Many of these meetings were not disclosed online. This includes, as CEO's complaint shows, at least 14 undisclosed meetings involving top Commission officials from the Secretariat-General and members of Commission President Barroso's cabinet.
• • EU• The ‘Dalligate’ scandal came to light on 21 May 2012, when Europe’s most senior civil servant, Secretary
General Catherine Day, received a letter from snus manufacturer Swedish Match alleging that Health Commissioner Mr Dalli was involved in an attempted bribe to lift the EU ban on selling snus. Maltese entrepreneur and political canvasser Silvio Zammit had used his contacts with Mr Dalli, who is also from Malta, to elicit 60 million Euros from Swedish Match in return for lifting the ban.

European Commission for dragging its feet in implementing WHO transparency rules regulating contacts between policymakers and the tobacco industry.
