Marco Hannappel, President of Philip Morris International Europe, discusses the need for effective regulation in Europe during an interview with Antena 3 CNN. He emphasizes that good regulations should be practical and enforceable, not just strict. The recent EY-Parthenon report highlights PMI's significant economic contribution to the EU, estimating it at €342.8 billion over five years and supporting nearly 164,000 jobs. Hannappel notes that while Europe has advanced regulations, it faces challenges with illicit trade, which can be higher than in some Latin American countries. He advocates for a balanced approach to regulation that considers the experiences of all member states to maintain competitiveness.
