Article 1 
The objective of this Directive is to approximate the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the advertising and sponsorship of tobacco products. Article 2 For the purposes of this Directive, the following definitions shall apply: 1. 'tobacco products`: all products intended to be smoked, sniffed, sucked or chewed inasmuch as they are made, even partly, of tobacco; 2. 'advertising`: any form of commercial communication with the aim or the direct or indirect effect of promoting a tobacco product, including advertising which, while not specifically mentioning the tobacco product, tries to circumvent the advertising ban by using brand names, trade marks, emblems or other distinctive features of tobacco products; 3. 'sponsorship`: any public or private contribution to an event or activity with the aim or the direct or indirect effect of promoting a tobacco product; 4. 'tobacco sales outlet`: any place where tobacco products are offered for sale. Article 3 1. Without prejudice to Directive 89/552/EEC, all forms of advertising and sponsorship shall be banned in the Community. 2. Paragraph 1 shall not prevent the Member States from allowing a brand name already used in good faith both for tobacco products and for other goods or services traded or offered by a given undertaking or by different undertakings prior to 30 July 1998 to be used for the advertising of those other goods or services. However, this brand name may not be used except in a manner clearly distinct from that used for the tobacco product, without any further distinguishing mark already used for a tobacco product. 3. (a) Member States shall ensure that no tobacco product bears the brand name, trade mark, emblem or other distinctive feature of any other product or service, unless the tobacco product has already been traded under that brand name, trade mark, emblem or other distinctive feature on the date referred to in Article 6(1); (b) the ban provided for in paragraph 1 may not be circumvented, in respect of any product or service placed or offered on the market as from the date laid down in Article 6(1), by the use of brand names, trade marks, emblems and other distinguishing features already used for a tobacco product. To this end, the brand name, trade mark, emblem and any other distinguishing feature of the product or service must be presented in a manner clearly distinct from that used for the tobacco product. 4. Any free distribution having the purpose or the direct or indirect effect of promoting a tobacco product shall be banned. 5. This Directive shall not apply to: - communications intended exclusively for professionals in the tobacco trade, - the presentation of tobacco products offered for sale and the indication of their prices at tobacco sales outlets, - advertising aimed at purchasers in establishments specialising in the sale of tobacco products and on their shop-fronts or, in the case of establishments selling a variety of articles or services, at locations reserved for the sale of tobacco products, and at sales outlets which, in Greece, are subject to a special system under which licences are granted for social reasons ('periptera`), - the sale of publications containing advertising for tobacco products which are published and printed in third countries, where those publications are not principally intended for the Community market. Article 4 Member States shall ensure that adequate and effective means exist of ensuring and monitoring the implementation of national measures adopted pursuant to this Directive. These means may include provisions whereby persons or organisations with a legitimate interest under national law in the withdrawal of advertising which is incompatible with this Directive may take legal proceedings against such advertising or bring such advertising to the attention of an administrative body competent to give a ruling on complaints or to institute the appropriate legal proceedings. Article 5 This Directive shall not preclude Member States from laying down, in accordance with the Treaty, such stricter requirements concerning the advertising or sponsorship of tobacco products as they deem necessary to guarantee the health protection of individuals. Article 6 1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations, and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 30 July 2001. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof. When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States. 2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of domestic law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive. 3. Member States may defer the implementation of Article 3(1) for: - one year in respect of the press, - two years in respect of sponsorship. In exceptional cases and for duly justified reasons, Member States may continue to authorise the existing sponsorship of events or activities organised at world level for a further period of three years ending not later than 1 October 2006, provided that: - the sums devoted to such sponsorship decrease over the transitional period, - voluntary-restraint measures are introduced in order to reduce the visibility of advertising at the events or activities concerned. Article 7 The Commission shall submit to the European Parliament, the Council and the Economic and Social Committee not later than 30 July 2001, and subsequently every two years, a report on the implementation of this Directive, with particular reference to the implementation and effects of Article 3(2) and (3) and Article 6(3). Where appropriate, it shall submit proposals for the adaptation of this Directive to suit developments identified in the report. Such adaptation shall not affect the periods provided for in Article 6(3). Article 8 This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Article 9 This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
