ECCC & 2firsts Live Streaming

Floor plan of Dortmund Exhibition Center

Jason, ECCC's diplomatic assistant, and PR manager for the 2firsts led the Chinese audience went over Hall WH, Halls 1, and 4 during a live tour in Dortmund InterTabac. The live broadcast visited and interviewed BAT, PMI, ECCCC, RELX, Xinyikang, MODI, and other brands, as well as FEAL, a distributor of tobacco oil.

The majority of interviewees reported that the client flow during the German trade fair was positive, high-quality, and profitable. In addition, we received information regarding the disparity in client preference between the European and American markets: European consumers differ considerably from American consumers. European customers tend to choose small puff devices, but U.S. customers prefer large puff products; European customers prioritize design and color, while U.S. customers prefer to design their own appearance and pay more attention to factory production efficiency and quality.

The introduction of equivalent legislation and regulations for nicotine-containing and tobacco-containing products, Incorporation of plain packaging. The enforcement of flavor bans is possible. Progressive limitations on advertising. Increasing the impact of environmental laws. EU is unlikely to establish premarket authorization similar to the PMTA. Pre-market approval is unlikely. Online sale ban unlikely. Common EU tax
