A real assault on the public health of the Paraguayan is the recent actions of the tobacco industry interference. With the acquiescence of Congress have implemented an array of political and legal strategies to cripple the enforcement of the measures snuff control environment relating to 100% smoke-free and advisories, as enshrined in the 4106 Decree and the 4174, 2010, regulating Law 2969, 2006, which ratified the Framework Convention for the Control of Snuff.
MAKERS
easy to identify those responsible for the legislative action in favor of the tobacco business. At the head of the former Minister of Health and now Senator Julio César Velázquez (pictured), accompanied by their counterparts in the Senate and Zulma Jorge Oviedo Matto Gomez. The thing that is suspiciously odd that Senator Velazquez was the same as the Minister signed the WHO Framework Convention, placing it as the repository of a double standard, according to the team he plays, from the Government on public health and from the Congress, the interests of the tobacco industry. Reasons has the Paraguayan people to worry about their political leaders to act this way.
CONTROL MEASURES SNUFF
For the international community was a source of joy to Paraguay by Decree 4174 of April 7, 2010 provides that "any enclosed space or public access it workplace, and media public transport throughout the national territory are declared spaces 100% smoke-free snuff. " This decision puts you in a position of global leadership, strengthened further by establishing health warnings with pictograms on the two (2) sides of the packs: 50% in the main face and 40% in the main rear surface (Decree 4106 March 25, 2010).
interference of the tobacco companies were not expected to undermine the legislation. First a measure of protection ordered by a judge who is located in a region of absolute control of the "tobacco mafia" as a precautionary measure ordered suspension of the entry into force of the measures contained in the decrees. Then to round this exercise of power tobacco, mobilizing legislators to introduce a project that reduces the size of warnings at 30% in the 2 sides, removing pictures or pictograms. In terms of smoke-free, leaving the consideration of the owners of any place of assembly, amusement, recreation or entertainment restricted for 18 years, defining whether they are smoke-free just as if they are enclosed spaces more than 70 square meters, authorizes isolated smoking areas
Wow, that if playing with Paraguayan health! Ignored all the recommendations on these matters is WHO.
SMUGGLING
is no secret. In international circles, Paraguay has the dubious honor of being one of the largest contributors to cigarette smuggling in the world (for some the first.) With lower taxation in Latin America, 12%, produces about 45 billion cigarettes, placing more than 90% in the international market, but with the added problem that only 5% of that amount is certified for export. Moreover, smuggled mainly to Brazil and all over the world arrive where illicit trade routes.
What do you think the President and his Ministers of Health, Finance and Industry and Trade? Reacting against these legislative decisions promoted by the tobacco industry, is an exercise of national sovereignty. The international community expects answers.
ADDENDUM: In what is the government's decision that as of July 12 this year, no snuff product can flow through the country, or be exported, if not has been subjected to surveillance monitoring of the Ministry of Health? We suppose that is a thing of the past by the grace of the opposition of a tobacco industry even has a presidential candidate to ensure their corporate interests of smuggling! Phillip Morris, British American Tobacco BAT and Tabacalera del Este can not go running over to the Paraguayan people!
