Introduction -- The tobacco industries -- Beer industries -- Spirit industries -- Conclusions and recommendations.
This study of the alcohol and tobacco industries, which are not currently part of PICTA illustrate clearly the nature of the tensions that will arise if and when PICTA rules are applied to these two products and free trade in the future includes Australia and NZ under a likely PACER agreements. The study makes recommendations as to how the alcohol and tobacco products can be included in the PICTA trade while protecting the considerable tax revenues that PIC governments derive from them. The study also illustrates the whole range of problmes (such as disagreements over Rules of Origin issues, health and safety issues, and a number of other trade-related technical matters) that would need to be resolved when trade does get intigated under PICTA. -- Cover
