More Plain Packaging Laws
Ireland has became the second country in the world to pass a law introducing mandatory plain packaging for tobacco products ...
and more plain packaging litigation?
The move has been met with fierce opposition by tobacco companies who have threatened Dublin with legal action.
...
Earlier this month JTI Ireland, owner of the Benson & Hedges and Silk Cut brands, said they would take legal action if the legislation is enacted.
"We have made our views known to the government many times so they should come as no surprise," a spokesperson for JTI Ireland said after the vote. "If this proceeds we will go to court to protect our rights."
What kind of legal action? EU law? WTO law? I hear that Ireland has no investment treaties with ISDS, but I haven't verified that.
