Disclosure Requirements
Disclosure by manufacturers and importers of cigarettes to government authorities of information on the contents and/or ingredients used in the manufacture of their cigarettes
The law requires an importer or exporter of tobacco products to disclose the "percentages of the ingredients used in the manufacture or preparation" or the tobacco products. (Although this provision does not require disclosure by manufacturers, it is our understanding that no products are manufactured in Guinea.) The law does not specify the regulatory agency responsible for ensuring compliance.
The law aligns with FCTC Art. 10 and the FCTC Arts. 9 & 10 Partial Guidelines in that it requires disclosure by manufacturers and importers to government authorities of information on the contents and/or ingredients used in the manufacture of their cigarettes.
Disclosure by manufacturers and importers of cigarettes to government authorities of information on the emissions of their cigarettes
The law does not require manufacturers or importers of cigarettes to disclose to government authorities information on the emissions of their cigarettes.
To align with FCTC Art. 10 and the FCTC Arts. 9 & 10 Partial Guidelines, the law should require disclosure by manufacturers and importers to government authorities of information on the emissions of their cigarettes.
Disclosed information readily available to the public
The law does not require that disclosed information be made readily available to the public.
To align with FCTC Art. 10 and the FCTC Arts. 9 & 10 Partial Guidelines, the law should require that disclosed information on contents and emissions be made readily available to the public.
