On 6 October ETHRA and partners Aiduce and Sovape participated in a validation workshop organised by Open Evidence. Open Evidence is one of three contractors which won a tender for the Single Framework Contract for Support Actions in the Field of Tobacco Control, read more about the tender and contract here. They were tasked with conducting a number of consultations into the evaluation of the legislative framework for tobacco control and producing a report for the European Commission, the report is expected early next year and may or may not be made public. Our contributions to the consultations can be found here. The report and any recommendations made will very likely feed into the next TPD which is due late next year. 

Last Wednesday, 11 October, ETHRA wrote to Open Evidence to provide them with a summary of the main points we raised during the workshop and we included additional evidence which complements and reinforces the points we raised. Consumers are the most significant stakeholders in this conversation and our voices must be heard. Our letter is below.
