  HUNGARY – PROPOSAL FOR GOVERNMENT DECREE ON THE AMENDMENT OF 
GOVERNMENT DECREE 39/2013 (OF 14 FEBRUARY 2013) ON THE MANUFACTURE, 
PLACEMENT ON THE MARKET AND CONTROL OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS, COMBINED 
WARNINGS AND THE DETAILED RULES FO R THE APPLICATION OF THE HEALTH-
PROTECTION FINE (G/TBT/N/HUN/31) 
STATEMENT BY INDONESIA TO THE COMMITT EE ON TECHNICAL BARRIERS TO TRADE  
9-10 MARCH 2016  
The following communication, dated 21 March 2016, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Indonesia. 
_______________ 
 
1.  Indonesia appreciates and respects the intent ions of the Government of Hungary to pursue a 
public health policy in protecting its people from the negative effects of consuming tobacco 
products.  
2.  Yet, Indonesia is of the view that the en actment of the policy should be undertaken in a 
manner that is not more restrictive than necessary which subsequently creates unnecessary 
barrier to trade. In our view, the proposal wh ich was submitted by Hungary and notified under 
G/TBT/N/HUN/31, related to Proposal for Government Decree on the amendment of Government Decree 39/2013 on the Manufacture, Placement on the Market and Control of Tobacco Products, 
Combined Warnings and the Detailed Rules for the Application of the Health-Protection Fine, is not 
in line with Article 2.2 of the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade ("TBT Agreement") 
and also several provisions under the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights ("TRIPS Agreement"). 
3.  Studies by multiple researchers using a range of data sets and different analytical approaches 
have failed to find any empirical evidence that plain packaging measures implemented by a certain member are reducing prevalence in the general po pulation or among youth, who were predicted to 
be particularly affected by plain packaging.  After more than three years of plain packaging 
measure imposed by a certain member, there is ze ro evidence from any of the available survey 
data that this policy has a positive impact on consumer behaviour. Plain packaging has failed to bring about the declines in tobacco prevalence  predicted by member of WTO who adopted the 
measure. It is not working and is not likely to work. 
4.  Additionally, Plain Packaging measure to pursue public health of a certain member is now being 
challenged by Indonesia and several members in the DSB. Therefore, Indonesia urges Hungary 
and other members in the process of introducing similar measures to reconsider their intention 
until the disputes are solved. We would like to also request those members to evaluate alternative measures which are more effective in achieving the health objective, and more importantly, 
consistent with WTO rules. 
5.  Indonesia appreciates the opportunity to present its views on plain packaging regime and its 
consistency with the TBT Agreement.

same under the revised and the 1994 Agreement.  GPA/W/336/Add.14

  3  METHOD OF CALCULATION  
The calculation of the thresholds is based on the average of the daily exchange rates of the 
Norwegian Kroner (NOK) in terms of the Special Drawing Right (SDR) over the two -year period of 
November 2013 to October 2015 (SDR 1 = NOK 10,2037275).  
 
The value of the thresholds in NOK has been expressed without  the value -added tax (VAT) 
because Norway excludes VAT when calculating the value of contracts.
