Japan Tobacco International (jti)

GENEVA, December 14, 2011 - In order to protect its ability to use its brands and key trade marks on the packaging of tobacco products sold in Australia, Japan Tobacco International (JTI) has initiated a legal challenge against the Commonwealth of Australia today.

LONDON, March 24, 2010 - Following the 4% increase in tobacco duty in today's budget, JTI believes that the current Government has taken a backward step by returning to a policy of duty escalation above inflation which will seriously undermine the progress made in reducing tobacco smuggling.
