Recordings reveal: Demanded SEK 600 million to allow snus in the EU
Dagens Nyheter reports that sound recordings reveal how a close friend to former Commissioner John Dalli stated that tobacco manufacturer Swedish Match could pay SEK 600 million in order for the EU to lift its ban on snus sales. Patrik Hildingsson, head of communications at Swedish Match, comments that he was both upset and disappointed when he heard about the phone call, where years of efforts to promote snus as an alternative to cigarettes were boiled down to corruption in the end. |
