These Regulations give effect to Directive 2003/33/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 26th May 2003 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the advertising and sponsorship of tobacco products (“the Directive on tobacco advertising and sponsorship”). They do so by amending the Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Act 2002 (“the Act”) to include provision about information society services (“ISS”) to the extent that the Act does not yet do so. In doing so, these Regulations also give effect to Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 8th June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market (Directive on electronic commerce) (“the electronic commerce Directive”).
