The new proposal is responding to these developments and to requests from the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers as well as the Commission's own report on the Application of the Tobacco Products Directive of 2007 and 2009, which identified potential areas for improvement.
Uus ettepanek esitatakse vastusena neile arengutele ning Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu nõudmisele, samuti komisjoni enda 2007. ja 2009. aasta aruandele tubakatoodete direktiivi kohaldamise kohta, milles on osutatud täiustamist vajavatele aspektidele.
