<p>The Government is fully committed to implementation and ratification of the WHO
Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Illicit Trade Protocol. The majority of the
requirements of the Protocol are already in place in the UK. HM Revenue and Customs
has recently consulted on the implementation of Article 6 of the Protocol, which includes
the requirement to license tobacco manufacturing machinery. The Government will ratify
the Protocol once we are satisfied that the legislation is in place to meet this requirement.</p><p>
