Dear Richard,
Thope you're well.
I enclose the reply that Max sent to Patricia Hewitt on the 6th September regarding
the Tobacco advertising issue.
Patricia was very clear in her letter that the European Directive contains no reference
to measures to control cross border sponsorship and that the British legislation purely
reflects the European directive.
We are assuming that this definition applies to all streams of media and that is the
advice that we are passing onto journalists in the formula one paddock I just want to
be sure that this is indeed correct as there is some nervoustiess amongst the printed
media.
This is not an attempt to reopen this issue but just to tidy up this matter.
If our interpretation could be confirmed to us then this would bring all of these issues
toa close,
Kind regards,
