- Finally, JTI expressed interest in the ongoing WTO accession of Belarus (where a state monopoly for tobacco imports still exists) and
voiced concerns about the severe WTO Appellate Body crisis as well as the inclusion of some tobacco products (under HS 2401) in the
EU’s recently published “preliminary list” of U.S. goods that will be targeted for retaliatory tariffs over subsidies to
