The purpose of the amendment is to transpose the requirements seen in pubs around signage and so forth to airside travel. This is essentially what we know as "duty free" in airports. It would remove the requirement for labelling for the airside products. We want to achieve a balance that meets all the public health requirements. We do this by ensuring all the requirements for pubs are met and we want to ensure we have a level playing field for the producers in foreign markets. We meet both requirements with the proposed change.
