Meeting between STMA Deputy Director and ABF Illicit Tobacco and E-cigarette Commissioner Erin Dale

Deputy Director of China's State Tobacco Monopoly Administration meets with Australia's illegal tobacco and e-cigarette management officials in Beijing.

On July 30th, Wang Gongcheng, member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, met with Erin Dale and his delegation from the Australian Illicit Tobacco and E-Cigarette Regulation Agency in Beijing. The two sides held a friendly discussion.

Leaders from the State Administration Office (Foreign Affairs Department), Special Supervision and Management Department, and the e-cigarette Management Office participated in the meeting.

Earlier, the Australian Border Force (ABF) appointed Erin Dale as the interim commissioner for illicit tobacco and e-cigarettes until an official appointment is made.

It is reported that the commissioner currently leads the ABF Tobacco and E-cigarette Special Taskforce, having previously held multiple senior executive positions at the ABF, including overseeing all national and regional border operations at Australian ports, supervising travel, trade facilitation, and enforcement functions.

The federal government states that the role of the Commissioner of Illicit Tobacco and E-cigarettes is crucial in coordinating efforts to combat the threats posed by illegal tobacco and e-cigarettes.
