In November 2015, negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement came to a close with the release of the final text. It included an optional carve-out (exclusion) for tobacco control measures from the TPP's investor-state dispute settlement mechanism. Despite the apparent 'win' for the field of tobacco control, the limited scope of the carve-out provides only partial protection for public health regulatory measures.
2015年11月,随着最终文本的发布,《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》的谈判落下帷幕。该协定包含一项可选条款,允许将烟草控制措施排除在《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》的投资者—国家争端解决机制之外。尽管这在烟草控制领域看似是一场“胜利”,但该排除条款的有限范围只为公共卫生监管措施提供了部分保护。
