(13) The current use of different reporting formats makes it difficult for manufacturers and importers to fulfil their reporting obligations and burdensome for the Member States and the Commission to compare, analyse and draw conclusions from the information received. In this light there should be a common mandatory format for the reporting of ingredients and emissions. The greatest possible transparency of product information should be ensured for the general public, while ensuring that appropriate account is taken of the commercial and intellectual property rights of the manufacturers of tobacco products. A mandatory list of ingredients must be compiled with a view to ensuring the greatest possible transparency for the general public in respect of the contents of tobacco products, while ensuring that appropriate account is taken of the commercial and intellectual property rights of the manufacturers of tobacco products. The list must include a statement of the most dangerous ingredients along similar lines to that required by the US Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which obliges manufacturers to disclose the presence of any substances in cigarette smoke identified by the US Food and Drug Administration as ‘hazardous or potentially hazardous’ for human health. Annexes I(a) and (b) have been provided for the purposes of setting out such a list.
