If it is appropriate, perhaps you could take on notice the part of the question in relation to the organisations.

If I understood your answer correctly, you implied that tobacco companies were going to be able to put origin labels on packaging. As I understand it, that is against WHO best practice, which says that it should be kept out of their hands. Should there not be some degree of neutrality? Could you please explain that? That is as I understand the situation.
