ORD. NO. 13193. FEDERAL LEADERSHIP ON GLOBAL TOBACCO CONTROL AND PREVENTION Ex. Ord. No. 13193, Jan. 18, 2001, 66 F.R. 7387, provided: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: SECTION 1. Policy. It shall be the policy of the execu- tive branch to take strong action to address the poten- tial global epidemic of diseases caused by tobacco use. The executive branch shall undertake activities to in- crease its capacity to address global tobacco preven- tion and control issues through coordinated domestic action, limited bilateral assistance to individual na- tions, and support to multilateral organizations. Inter- national activities shall be directed towards deterring children from tobacco use, protecting nonsmokers, and providing information about the adverse health effects of tobacco use and the health benefits of cessation. SEC. 2. Responsibilities of Federal Departments and Agencies. (a) Tobacco Trade Policy. In the implementa- tion of international trade policy, executive depart- ments and agencies shall not promote the sale or ex- port of tobacco or tobacco products, or seek the reduc- tion or removal of foreign government restrictions on the marketing and advertising of such products, pro- vided that such restrictions are applied equally to all tobacco or tobacco products of the same type. Depart- ments and agencies are not precluded from taking nec- essary actions in accordance with the requirements and remedies available under applicable United States trade laws and international agreements to ensure non- discriminatory treatment of United States products. Nothing in this Executive Order shall be construed (1) to modify the annual executive branch guidance to United States diplomatic posts on health, trade, and commercial aspects of tobacco, or (2) to affect any ne- gotiating position of the United States on the Frame- work Convention on Tobacco Control. (b) The Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Role in Tobacco Trade Policy Deliberations. The HHS shall be included in all deliberations of inter- agency working groups, chaired by the United States Trade Representative (USTR), that address issues re- lating to trade in tobacco and tobacco products. Through such participation, HHS shall advise the USTR, and other interested Federal agencies, of the po- tential public health impact of any tobacco-related trade action that is under consideration. Upon conclu- sion of a trade agreement that includes provisions spe- cifically addressing tobacco or tobacco products, the USTR shall produce and make publicly available a summary describing those provisions. (c) International Tobacco Control Needs Assessment. The HHS, with the cooperation of the Departments of State, Commerce, and Agriculture, and in consultation with the appropriate national Ministry of Health, shall conduct a pilot assessment of tobacco use in a country other than the United States. Such assessment will be carried out through a compilation and review of sur- veys and other needs assessments already available and include: (1) initial estimates of the burden of disease and other public health consequences of tobacco use; (2) the status of tobacco control regulatory measures in place to curtail tobacco consumption and tobacco re- lated disease; and (3) an analysis of the marketing, distribution, and manufacturing practices of tobacco companies in given regions, and the impact of those practices on smoking rates, particularly among women and children. Such assessment shall be prepared and provided to interested agencies and other parties not later than December 31, 2001, and be updated as practicable. (d) Research and Training in Tobacco Control. The HHS will develop a research and training program link- ing institutions in the United States and certain other countries in the field of tobacco control. Emphasis will be placed on the collection of standardized and com- parable surveillance data; networks for communica- tion, information and best practices; and the develop- ment and evaluation of culturally-targeted approaches to preventing tobacco use and increasing quit rates, es- pecially among women and children. SEC. 3. General. (a) Executive departments and agen- cies shall carry out the provisions of this order to the extent permitted by law and consistent with their stat- utory and regulatory authorities and their enforcement mechanisms. (b) This order clarifies and strengthens Administra- tion policy and does not create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a party against the United States, its officers or employ- ees, or any other person.
