Dear friends We prepared five 2-page briefings for the Government of
Malaysia in advance of next week's 4th Intergovernmental Negotiating
Body (INB-4) meeting of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control
- Geneva, 18-23 March 2002. These are available at our international
menu http://www.ash.org.uk/?inte rnational in html format and at the
links below as formatted PDFs. 1.

Regulation and

are designed to brief delegates on some of the key issues that arise in
the treaty, but without (overt) position taking.  The Government of
Malaysia, which commissioned them, has given permission for their use at
INB-4 with due credit. These should complement the new FCA 1-page, 10
point position paper, which hopefully will be a prime lobbying tool at
INB-4http://www.fctc.org ....and the longer detailed commentary on the
negotiating texts prepared by
ASHhttp://www.ash.org.uk/html/international/html/inb4commentary.html Happy
background reading...! Clive---------  Clive Bates
