Tobacco WG Meeting

On 23 September, the Tobacco Working Group held its first offline meeting at EuroCham Office. The meeting was chaired by the Head of the Tobacco Working Group, Andre Setiawan (Head of Fiscal Affairs Japan Tobacco Industry), as well as the Board Patron of the Tobacco Working Group, Wichard von Harrach (President Director Jawa Power). The meeting highlighted several key issues affecting the sector including excise and e-cigarette policy, as well plans for future collaborations with relevant stakeholders on illicit product distribution.

Additionally, Andre Setiawan announced his decision to relinquish his position as Head, which will be replaced by Anita Eka Lestari (Manager of Fiscal Affairs HM Sampoerna). We would like to thank Andre Setiawan for chairing the meeting and Working Group throughout his tenure. We would also like to congratulate Anita Lestari, as the newly appointed Head, and Eka Tangkere as the Deputy Head.
