As the EU Commission clarified last week, all that has happened is that the Commission has been asked to further analyse the issue of e-cigarettes as part of a wider review of the Tobacco Duties Directive (2011/64/EU). Any proposal would need the unanimous support of all 28 EU governments for it to be approved.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 08/03/2016 17:10:47 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
