Recital 29 a (new)
(29a) Given the general prohibition of the sale of oral tobacco (snus) in the EU, there is no cross-border interest in regulating the content of snus. The responsibility for regulating the content of snus thus lies with the Member State where the sale of snus is permitted in accordance with Article 151 of the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden. Snus should therefore be exempt from the provisions of Article 6 of this Directive.
