Mr. Niall Cody:
We work very closely with the office of tobacco control and the Department of Health and we are engaged in the introduction of the new track and trace system for the legitimate trade across Europe. We are the competent authority to oversee it. We are the high-tax country in this equation so there is no particular risk of the diversion of legitimate trade here. Of course, they are all bad for you.
