A landmark achievement of the third Conference of Parties

to the WHO FCTC in Durban, South Africa, in November

2008, was the unanimous adoption of specific guidelines to

safeguard public health policies against tobacco industry

interference. The FCTC, in Article 5.3 obligates ratifying

countries to "act to protect [public health] policies from

commercial and other vested interests of the tobacco

industry in accordance with national law"

WHO FCTC Article 5.3 recommendations

Raise Awareness: Organisingworkshops with different ministriesof trade, finance, agriculture, among

others on WHO FCTC Article 5.3 willenable environment for betterenforcement of Article 5.3.Institutionalising these trainings indifferent ministries and governancemechanisms will further ensuresustainability.

Limit interactions and ensuretransparency: governments shouldtry to limit interactions with tobacco

industry and whenever an interactionis necessary it should be very well documented, recorded and proceedings madepublic. There should be no photograph clicked of tobacco industry with governmentbecause then the industry can create a perception of partnering with the government.

Reject Partnerships: All agreements with the industry and front groups should beregulatory agreements and should be legally binding. This can be enshrined in a codeof conduct for employees and agencies with penalties for violations. Other forms ofpartnerships in the guise of 'corporate social responsibility' (CSR) offered by tobaccoindustry should be rejected. Tobacco industry should not be allowed to market its CSRactivities.

Protect Against Conflicts of Interest: all direct or indirect association of governmentemployees with tobacco industry should be made public, such as their or their familymembers' shares or investments or current or past employment in tobacco industry orits allies. Similarly no tobacco industry representative should be allowed on anygovernment body or delegation such as those going for WHO FCTC negotiations.

Transparency: Governments must make it necessary for the tobacco industry to shareall current and anticipated marketing expenditures, lobbying expenses, and levydeterrent penalties on tobacco industry for providing false information like statisticson illicit trade.

Dont give the industry preferential treatment: Governments should not give theindustry any tax breaks, tax incentives, tariff reductions, subsidies to promotetobacco farming, or protections in trade agreements. Governments should not investin the tobacco industry and State-owned tobacco corporations should be treated likeothers.

Indian tobacco control legal framework

India became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control onFebruary 5, 2004. Before signing and ratifying FCTC, India had formed its domestictobacco control law on 31 May 2003 which was broadly in line with major FCTC

provisions, though it lacks a strong corporate accountability provision such as FCTCArticle 5.3.

Since India has ratifiedFCTC so it is obligated toenforce Article 5.3 too.This domestic tobaccocontrol law is formallycalled "The Cigarettes andOther Tobacco Products(Prohibition of

Advertisement andRegulation of Trade andCommerce, Production,Supply and Distribution)Act, 2003" (COTPA).

Smoke Free Places: InIndia, ban on smoking inpublic places came intoeffect on 2nd October 2008onwards. Definition of

public places includespublic transport, publicoffices, private offices and workplaces, among others.

Tobacco Advertising, Promotion and Sponsorship: Tobacco advertising is prohibitedin media, except point-of-sale at tobacco retail outlets for which there are clearlylaid down specific norms to regulate size, content, warning display, etc.

Tobacco Packaging and Labelling: Pictorial health warning labels are pictorial andtext, covering 40 per cent of the front panel of the package of all forms of tobacco,and must be rotated every 12 months. There is ban on the use of misleadingdescriptors (including, among others, light, ultra-light and low-tar) andassociated graphics or product design features.

Other laws: Apart from COTPA and WHO FCTC Article 5.3 there are a number of otherdomestic laws that are purported to support tobacco control as well. These include:Right To Information (RTI) Act, 2005; laws banning child labour; Right To Education(RTE) Act, Motor Vehicle Act, among others.

Best Practices in Implementing Article 5.3

INDIA

There are a growing number of examples of tobacco industry interference in healthpolicy in India. Even government of India's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare hadsaid to Central Information Commission in November 2008, in reply to why it is notenforcing tobacco control laws effectively, that tobacco industry's pressure is notallowing it to effectively enforce this public health law. Recently a news itempublished in August 2013 cited Supreme Court to have told the government that it is"conniving" with tobacco industry.

KARNATAKA HIGH COURTDIRECTED GOVERNMENT NOT TOPARTNER WITH TOBACCO

INDUSTRY:

In 2010, Dr Upendra Bhojani of Institute ofPublic Health (IPH), Bangalore, succeededin exposing how government's tobaccoboard was engaged with a tobaccoindustry event. He went to KarnatakaState High Court that directed theTobacco Board to withdraw sponsorship to the Global Tobacco Networking Forum 2010which was slated to be held in Bangalore from October 2 to 8, 2010.

According to a news item published in The Hindu, "a Division Bench comprising JusticeDV Shylendra Kumar and Justice HS Kempanna passed the order on a public interestlitigation (PIL) petition by the Institute of Public Health, challenging the action of theTobacco Board in sponsoring a tobacco event. The Bangalore-based IPH had draggedthe Tobacco Board to court stating that it violated World Health Organisation (WHO)norms. The NGO said that the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control wasadopted on May 21, 2003 and it came into force on February 27, 2005. It said Indiaratified the treaty in February 2004 and as per the guidelines it was not supposed tosupport or sponsor any tobacco-related event. Moreover, government participationviolates Article 5.3 of the WHO framework convention on tobacco control."

It said the board's sponsorship of the meet violated Section 5 of Cigarettes and OtherTobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade andCommerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 2003.

On its part, the board saidit had spent Rs. 3,26,620 tomeet the expenditure ontransport for the delegatesto visit the tobacco-growing

areas and auction platformsin Karnataka.

The Bench, in its order,asked the board to takeback the amount it hadspent on the event. Thelogo of the government hadto be removed from thisindustry event, and nogovernment representative

was permitted to attendthis meet.

UNDPs RESPONSE AGAINST AWARD TO ITC:

When the Rio+20 United Nations Summit was taking place, ITC Limited (an Indiancorporation, whose primary business is selling cigarettes - a highly addictive anddeadly product) was presented the 2012 World Business and Development Award forits transformational rural initiatives in social and farm forestry programmes in India(in possibly an independent event held in Rio).

Led by NATT leaders including those in India, a complaint was duly submitted to UNDPalong with other key officials.

Excerpts from the letter written to UNDP:

...What shocks us more is that this award is co-instituted by an agency whose life-saving mission is dedicated to human development, the United Nations DevelopmentProgramme (UNDP).

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that though ITC Limited claims to bea diversified conglomerate, it is the largest producer of cigarettes and the largest

buyer, processor and exporter of leaf tobacco in India. The company is not only a bigplayer in tobacco and cigarette business in India, but sells tobacco to nearly 50countries across the world. Here, we would like to mention that this has been a long-standing strategy of the industry to distract attention from the deadly effects of itsbusiness. For example, Altria bought Kraft in the early 2000s, for which they receivedwidespread criticism and eventually sold it out (Source:http://www.stopcorporateabuse.org/sites/default/files/Kraft_boycott_impact_analysis.pdf).

As you are well aware, the tobaccoepidemic is the largest preventablecause of death on the planet, killingnearly six million people every year.

Approximately one person dies every sixseconds due to tobacco-relateddiseases, and this accounts for one in 10adult deaths. Up to half of currenttobacco users will eventually die of atobacco-related disease. Moreovertobacco is a common risk factor formajor non-communicable diseases suchas heart diseases, stroke, cancers,diabetes, and respiratory illnesses,among others, that constitute up to

two-thirds of deaths worldwide.

The tobacco industry, as a strategy,continues to inject large philanthropiccontributions into social programmesworldwide, including social forestry, tocreate a positive public image and todistract attention from its core business in tobacco.

According to a WHO report (Tobacco industry and corporate responsibility... aninherent contradiction, online at:

http://www.who.int/tobacco/communications/CSR_report.pdf), The businesscommunity, consumer groups and the general public should join policymakers and thepublic health community in being more vigilant and critical about tobacco companiescorporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, because, despite the industrys claims,there is little evidence of any fundamental change in their objectives or theirpractices.

Besides having a negative impact on health, cigarette industry is a big cause ofdeforestation and contributes to underdevelopment. It is ironic that a company whosesubsidiary or associated tobacco company contributes significantly to deforestationand underdevelopment is being awarded for forestry and development.

If at all ITC is serious about 'rural transformation and welfare of tribals and poorfarmers' it should stop manufacturing and selling tobacco products that are a commonrisk factor for major killer non-communicable diseases, the impact of which is farmore worse on poor people.

UN agencies such asUNDP have madecommendablecontributions to a rangeof development issues

around the world. ITCLimited is using an age-old tobacco industrytactic to clean up itsimage associating itselfwith a UN agency whosemission is dedicated todevelopment evenwhile its primary businessis selling a product thatkills.

UNDP must come out

clearly on thisfundamental conflict ofinterest between itsassociation with anaward that goes to acompany whose mainbusiness is tobacco, andits commitment tosustainable development. UNDP should not associate itself with companies whose

subsidiaries directly or indirectly brew problems it is responding to around the world.UNDP is a member of the UN Interagency Task Force on Tobacco Control whose latestfocus is the implementation of the WHO FCTC that requires prohibition of all tobaccopromotion.

WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) under its guidelines on Article5.3 recommends that parties to the FCTC Denormalize and, to the extent possible,regulate activities described as socially responsible by the tobacco industry,including but not limited to activities described as corporate social responsibility.

We would also like to register that in the absence of clear guidelines to protect

association and interaction of all UN agencies with corporations that create andexacerbate health and development problems UN responds to, such conflictingsituations are bound to happen.

We strongly urge the UN Secretary Generals office to convene a group to draftguidelines for all UN agencies to protect their policies and programmes frominterference of corporations that pose conflicts of interest, such as those responsiblefor tobacco deaths, limiting access to water, or food insecurity among others.

We appeal to your high office to withdraw UNDPs association with such an award asmentioned above or retract the award given to a company that also has tobacco asone of its business activities; and frame guidelines to protect all UN agencies from

corporate interference (like Article 5.3 of WHO FCTC)

Excerpts of UNDP's head Helen Clark's response to NATT:

UNDP was shocked to learn that a company given an award through the WBDAderives a substantial proportion of its profits from tobacco. UNDP does not wish everto be associated with awards which are presented to such companies...

...this has clearly been a serious oversight in the award process. UNDP will notparticipate in these awards in future unless companies like this are excluded.

...UNDP is now reviewing its own guidelines to ensure that incident like this does notrecur... We will also work closely with other partners within the UN system to

strengthen due diligence processes and capacities.

PHILIPPINES

In 2010, a joint venture between Philip Morris Philippines and Fortune TobaccoCorporation was announced. Formally called Philip Morris Fortune TobaccoCorporation (PMFTC), it controls 90% of the market share. According to KAlechnowicz and S Chapman: Philippines has long suffered a reputation for endemic

political corruption. Evidence spanning 30 years (19621992) reveals that foreigntobacco companies sought to work within this operating environment. Interferencein all branches of the government was reported. Some outcomes of this interferenceof tobacco industry included blocking of tobacco control laws.

In relation to judiciary, these industry entities resorted tosystematic appointing of retainer of retired judges to handletheir cases and filing lawsuits against tobacco controlmeasures.

Creation of the 5.3 Committee: A 5.3 committee was

established in 2009 under the leadership of Civil ServiceCommission Commissioner May Fernandez-Mendoza andDepartment of Health Undersecretary Alex Padilla. Thiscommittee disseminated WHO FCTC Article 5.3 Guidelines toDepartment Secretaries in the government apart frompreparing frequently asked questions (FAQs), briefing papers,warning letters and draft policies. The Committee alsoorganized meetings to address reported interference at the local level. For example,

Call to contain tobacco industryArunav Sinha, The Times of India | September 8, 2013

LUCKNOW: A call was made to implement Article 5.3 of the global tobaccotreaty to stop tobacco industry interference in public health policy at theadvocacy training workshop conducted by UP State and Lucknow DistrictTobacco Control Cells with Vote For Health campaign in Balrampur Hospital,Lucknow on 7 September 2013. The Global Tobacco Treaty which has also beenratified by India along with 176 other countries, (formally called Framework

Convention on Tobacco Control - FCTC) has Article 5.3, preamble of whichstates that there is a direct fundamental and irreconcilable conflict of interestbetween tobacco industry and public health policy.

This workshop was inaugurated by Dr TP Singh, Director, Balrampur Hospital, DrSNS Yadav, CMO; Dr UN Rai of District Tobacco Control Cell, Dr Surya Kant,Chairman of State Task Force for TB Control and HOD Pulmonary Medicine,KGMU, Shobha Shukla, CNS; and Dr Madhu Pathak, Director Samadhan.

According to the Article 5.3 Guidelines, governments such as of India should

refuse to treat tobacco corporations as "stakeholders" in public health policy;should not invest in the tobacco industry, should not partner with tobaccocorporations to promote public health or other purposes, or should not acceptthe tobacco industry's so-called corporate social responsibility schemes whichare really just marketing by another name, said Cloe Franko of CorporateAccountability International that also supports Network for Accountability ofTobacco Transnationals (NATT).

Irene Reyes, Managing Director of Health Justice that has done commendablework in Philippines on FCTC Article 5.3 said that civil society has played a keyrole in Philippines to ensure that there are no partnerships, non-binding, ornon-enforceable agreements between tobacco industry and governments, novoluntary contributions by tobacco industry to governments, no tobacco

industry-drafted legislation or policy, or voluntary codes as substitutes forlegally enforceable measures, no investments by governments or publicofficials in tobacco industry, and no tobacco industry representation ongovernment tobacco control bodies or FCTC delegations. There are Article 5.3Committees in Philippines to protect health policy from industry interference.

Interaction between government and tobacco

industry should be transparent and well

documented, no photographs taken so thatindustry cannot use them to give an

impression that they partner with the

government, among other measures.

The key faculty for this training includes: John Stewart, Director of ChallengeBig Tobacco campaign of Corporate Accountability International; Cloe Franko ofNetwork for Accountability of Tobacco Transnationals (NATT); Irene Reyes,Managing Director, Health Justice Philippines; Dr UN Rai, District Tobacco

Control Cell; Satish Tripathi, UP State Tobacco Control Cell; Prof Surya KantTripathi, National Vice President of Indian Chest Society; Dr Madhu Pathak,Director, Samadhan; Prof Rama Kant, WHO Director-General's Awardee; ShobhaShukla, Bobby Ramakant and Rahul Dwivedi from Vote For Health campaign andCNS.

The participants identified many issues to act upon including setting up ofArticle 5.3 committee in the state, using the toll-free number to reportviolations of domestic tobacco control law (Cigarette and Other TobaccoProducts Act - COTPA) among other measures.
