United States Does Not Table its Tobacco Exception at the TransPacific Partnership Negotiations

Published July 10, 2012

The United States did not table its tobacco exception at the latest round of TransPacific Partnership negotiations. The issue apparently did not come up during the closed-door sessions, although it was a central concern of NGOs during the one-hour stakeholder briefing with the chief negotiators. The next round is scheduled to begin September 6, but indications are that the exception will not be tabled until after the election.
