The panel found that in spite of the difficulties in ascertaining their precise effects, the TPP measures, applied within the context of a broad comprehensive strategy, are “apt to” contribute to the objective of reducing smoking prevalence (para. 7.1043). [...]it found that none of the less trade-restrictive measures identified by the complainants as alternatives would be a perfect substitute for the TPP measures, but that, on the contrary, tobacco control policies are conceived as part of a broad comprehensive strategy (paras. 7.1726–7.1728). Among the reasons it gave, the panel recalled that the TPP measures apply to all tobacco manufacturers, and they have been widely publicised (paras. 7.2721, 7.2760). [...]consumers have access to some information, as the TPP measures allow tobacco packages to include the brand, the variant name, and the country of origin (paras. 7.2722, 7.2761, 7.2794). [...]it is regrettable that the panel did not decide to complete its analysis on the FCTC guidelines as potential international standards (ie to examine the second condition). [...]the panel’s findings on the FCTC guidelines as international standards seem rather formalistic, ie they take account only of their form, but not of their substance.
