“In May, the Riigikogu passed a law that permitted the sale of heated tobacco products and menthol e-cigarette fluids. Now it is discovered that there might have been an error in legislation of the law and it might not hold up after all. During procedure of the law in question, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications raised suspicions that the European Commision should have been informed of the law, due to there being a change in technical norms. The Ministry of Social Affairs informed the European Commission in April and the law is now under a waiting period, during which member states and the Commission itself can object to it. The final time to state objections is set to be July 15.”
