The Australian Government is investing over $100 million to strengthen agricultural traceability systems, focusing on food safety, provenance, and biosecurity. By collaborating with industry and regional authorities, they aim to develop a unified national approach to traceability across supply chains. This investment underscores Australia's commitment to product safety, sustainability, and market access.
The EU TPD, or the European Union Tobacco Products Directive (EUTPD), is a comprehensive regulatory framework governing the manufacture, presentation, and sale of tobacco and related products within the European Union. Enacted in 2014 and updated in 2021, the TPD aims to enhance public health by regulating the ingredients, labeling, packaging, advertising, and promotion of tobacco products.
The EUTPD includes provisions related to traceability to ensure the effective monitoring and control of tobacco products throughout the supply chain. Traceability measures outlined in the TPD aim to enhance regulatory oversight, combat illicit trade, and protect public health.
