There is only a technical issue here. I agree with the Senator and it will be done. These amendments relate to the inclusion of a quit-line number and website address on packs of tobacco products. This will be put in place. The new tobacco directive sets out mandatory provision for member states to include such information on the graphic warnings.

The new warnings are being developed at EU level and will be transposed into regulations once finalised. It will happen but technically I cannot accept the Senator's amendment.
