Colombia, junto con El Salvador, fueron los dos únicos países de la Región de las Américas que fueron seleccionados para el Proyecto FCTC 2030. Para este proyecto, Colombia planteó sus prioridades en función de los principales desafíos que enfrenta en el proceso de aplicación del Tratado: fortalecer los procesos de inspección, vigilancia y control; movilizar la acción intersectorial; implementar el Programa Nacional de Cesación en todo el territorio nacional; y desarrollar una estrategia nacional de comunicación en control de tabaco. Con ocasión del cierre del proyecto, se realizó un diálogo el 11 de mayo de 2022, organizado por el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social. En este Diálogo se presentó el Documento “Colombia Avanza en el Control Integral del Tabaco: Logros y desafíos en el camino hacia los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible”. Entre los asuntos que se mencionan, se encuentra la promulgación del decreto que formaliza el mecanismo de coordinación intersectorial. | El Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social inició el proceso de gestión ante la Secretaría del Convenio para el desarrollo de la misión de evaluación de necesidades, en virtud de los artículos 21 y 26 del CMCT.

Para el Proyecto en Colombia, se contemplaron las siguientes líneas estratégicas: A) fortalecimiento de los procesos de inspección, vigilancia y control del control de tabaco; B) fortalecimiento de la acción intersectorial; C) Implementación del Programa Nacional de Cesación de Tabaco; d) desarrollo de una Estrategia Nacional de comunicación en control de tabaco. En noviembre de 2017, se realizó el lanzamiento oficial del Proyecto que contó con la participación de delegados de la Secretaría del Convenio Marco, de la OMS, de la OPS/OMS y del PNUD, así como de los diversos sectores y actores competentes en control de tabaco. Entre 2018 y 2019, los años en los que se han asignado recursos para la ejecución de las actividades del Proyecto, la gestión se ha concentrado en las prioridades definidas en el proyecto, y en la importancia de asegurar la coordinación entre las actividades y lo planteado estratégicamente en el Proyecto. Esto significa, que en los procesos de planificación anual, se ha buscado asegurar que las actividades propuestas permitan y faciliten el logro de los objetivos propuestos en el marco del Proyecto FCTC 2030. Así, y con el concurso de todos los miembros del equipo de control de tabaco, se ha asumido la gestión para el desarrollo idóneo de cada una de las actividades propuestas. En 2019 se continuó con el entrenamiento en cesación y fiscalización sanitaria de control de tabaco, el desarrollo de la iniciativa de cooperación Sur-Sur con Brasil para el fortalecimiento de la acción intersectorial en control de tabaco.

In the Work Plan for this redesignation a cooperation action is planned with Latin American countries and the Portuguese-speaking countries, especially with the Africans. This action provides for the exchange of experiences, information, research, materials and other collaborations to be identified. - Brazil has been cooperating with several countries on different topics, such as national coordinating mechanism, national plans and programs for tobacco control and cessation program, for example. Brazil, as part of its Collaborating Center, worked directly with Portuguese-speaking African country, (Cape Verde), technically training them to develop national plans and programs and discussing cessation program implementation. - Between May 8 and 10, 2017, a meeting was organized by the Secretariat of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in Montevideo, Uruguay. The event entitled "South-South and triangular cooperation to promote the implementation of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in the era of Sustainable Development Goals" aimed at bringing together developing countries, Knowledge Hubs, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations in order to establish agreements, partnerships and projects to streamline the implementation of tobacco control policies. During the event, Brazil was recognized not only for its history of strong action in the tobacco control policy historically carried out by the National Cancer Institute, but also for its expertise in building national coordination mechanisms, for having created a Commission to subsidize the Brazilian position in the negotiations of the FCTC and to be the first country in the world to implement through a Presidential Decree, in 2003, a mechanism for coordination multisectoral project - National Commission for Tobacco Control (CONICQ) - initially responsible for participating in the ratification process of the FCTC and subsequently implementing the articles of the Framework Convention in Brazil. Due to his experience in the topic, Brazil was invited to coordinate the discussion table on the implementation of Article 5.2 of the FCTC. Based on the demands of the countries, a proposed international cooperation project for the implementation of a National Coordination mechanism, with funding from the Convention Secretariat, Brazil developed with the support of FCTC Secretariat a Workshop in the Philippines in April 18 to 20, 2018. Due to the sucess of this project and the commitment of Brazil to share its experience, encouraging the implementation of art. 5of the FCTC, an agreement was signed with Colombia to develop two technical workshops, one in 2019 and one in 2020. For the first workshop, which took place in August 2019, 4 video conferences were held with about 2 hours and the demand for 8 days of preparation of technical materials and presentations. A similar process is being developed with Cabo Verde, in which Brazilian team promoted a capacity building workshop on a national coordination mechanism took place from February 11 to 15, 2019; with the participation of 2 staff from Brazil. Due to the demand of Cape Verde, Brazil, throught The Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, adapted its winter course of Tobacco control policies from the National School of Public Health to train five students, among them 3 invited Cabo Verde Students. The course occurred among September 02 to 13, 2019. Additionally, the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA), througth is cessassion Division, promoted a mission with training course between October, 13 to 17 de 2019. the course promoted managerial training in a cessation program. The Brazilian treatment program was presented with exposure of the Brazilian methodology to health agents. In relation to the recent FCTC Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade, on December 3 and 4, 2019, Brasilia hold the International Workshop to promote the ratification and implementation of the FCTC Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products. Representatives and International experts preesnted the most importante aspects of the Protocol and the next steps to be implemented. There were representatives from Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. | - In May 2016, the Executive Secretariat of CONICQ - National Cancer Institute - was redesignated as a Collaborating Center of the Pan American Health Organization / WHO on Tobacco Control by June 2020.

This action provides for the exchange of experiences, information, research, materials and other collaborations to be identified. - Brazil has been cooperating with several countries on different topics, such as flavor additives, health warnings and diversification of tobacco production, for example. - A meeting was held in June 2017 to involve the Parties to the WHO FCTC which have not yet complied with the implementation reports of the Convention since their accession and to train them to prepare the reports, providing all the practical skills necessary for successful completion. Brazil, as part of its Collaborating Center, worked directly with Portuguese-speaking African countries (Cape Verde, Angola and Guinea), technically training them to produce these reports. - Between May 8 and 10, 2017, a meeting was organized by the Secretariat of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in Montevideo, Uruguay. The event entitled "South-South and triangular cooperation to promote the implementation of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in the era of Sustainable Development Goals" aimed at bringing together developing countries, Knowledge Hubs, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations in order to establish agreements, partnerships and projects to streamline the implementation of tobacco control policies.

Due to his experience in the topic, Brazil was invited to coordinate the discussion table on the implementation of Article 5.2 of the FCTC. Based on the demands of the countries present at the meeting, a proposed international cooperation project was developed during the conference to develop a Smart Approach model for the implementation of a National Coordination mechanism, with funding from the Convention Secretariat, Brazil being the provider country and Costa Rica, Togo and the Philippines as beneficiary countries. The main objective of the project is to promote a comprehensive implementation of the FCTC in the participating countries by creating or strengthening a National Coordination Mechanism (NCM) to prioritize tobacco control policies within the governmental agenda and ensure the creation or coordination of the multisectoral response to control smoking at different levels of governance. As a result of the project, Brazil prepared a questionnaire for the recipient countries to allow a diagnosis of the updated situation regarding the implementation of Article 5.2 of the FCTC in those countries. Based on information from each country and Brazilian history on intersectorial cooperation strategies in the area of tobacco control policies, the Brazilian team formed by representatives of the Conicq Executive Secretariat, INCA representative and consultants contracted by the Convention Secretariat prepared the " General Guidelines for Smart Approach " which will include a methodology related to mapping and stakeholder engagement, which will be presented at a Workshop in the three recipient countries throughout 2018. The first workshop will be held in the Philippines from April 18 to 20, 2018. |

Miembros del equipo nacional de control de tabaco participaron en un taller virtual de impuestos llevado a cabo por el Centro de Conocimientos sobre Impuestos al Tabaco ubicado en la Universidad de Cape Town en Suráfrica del 21 – 25 marzo 2022. En él mismo, se realizó una primera estimación para sustentar el incremento del impuesto en Panamá. Cómo resultado del precitado taller, en enero de 2023 se realizó un taller presencial en Panamá que contó con una amplia participación de representantes de diferentes entidades a saber: Comisión Nacional de Control del Tabaco, la Dirección General de Salud Pública y la Dirección de Planificación Sanitaria del Ministerio de Salud; Consejo Nacional de Salud sin Tabaco (Autoridad Nacional de Aduanas, Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas, Ministerio de Educación, Coalición Panameña contra el Tabaco, Fundación para la Prevención de la Osteoporosis, Asociación Nacional contra el Cáncer), Dirección General de Ingresos, documentos asesores de la Asamblea Nacional de Diputados, Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censo, Facultad de Economía de la Universidad de Panamá, OPS-OMS, PNUD y del Secretariado del CMCT de la OMS. Dicho taller fue facilitado presencialmente por Corné van Walbeek, Director de Research Unit on the Economics of Excisable Products del centro de conocimientos sobre impuestos al tabaco. Un resumen de los resultados se detalla a continuación: "El jueves hice una presentación bastante genérica sobre la relación entre los impuestos al tabaco, los precios, el consumo y los ingresos fiscales, y me centré en el cuadro de mando fiscal de Panamá, tal como aparece en el Cuadro de Mando Fiscal de Cigarrillos de la UIC. El puntaje fiscal de Panamá es algo menor que el de países comparables y no ha cambiado desde 2012. A continuación, el Prof. Víctor Hugo Herrera de la Universidad de Panamá hizo una presentación sobre el escenario fiscal en Panamá. Más sobre esto en la reflexión a continuación. Después del almuerzo, presenté los resultados del modelo TETSiM, tal como los discutimos en marzo de 2022 a la audiencia. En resumen, mostré lo que sucedería si el piso mínimo del impuesto específico aumentara de 1,50 PAB = 1,50 USD a 4,00 USD. Vea la discusión a continuación. También mostré cómo se puede usar el modelo para analizar diferentes escenarios fiscales. El viernes Juana Cooke del PNUD presentó el Escenario de Caso de Inversión para el control del tabaco en Panamá. La atención se centró en gran medida en los costos generados por el tabaco, y que estos costos se evitarían si Panamá pudiera reducir aún más el consumo de tabaco. El viernes por la tarde tuve una reunión con la representante de la OPS en Panamá, Dra. Ana XXX. Junto con Juana Cooke del PNUD y la Dra. Reina Roa, punto focal de control del tabaco en el Ministerio de Salud, me reuní con representantes del Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas, incluidos asesores del Ministro y representantes de la Dirección de Políticas Públicas y de la Dirección General de Ingresos (Subdirector y asesores legales), y discutió la situación del impuesto especial y las opciones fiscales. Existe una fuerte voluntad política para aumentar el impuesto al consumo en Panamá, por varias razones: (1) el último aumento del impuesto al consumo fue en 2009 y, por lo tanto, es hora de un cambio, (2) Panamá alberga la COP 10 y la MOP 3 en noviembre de 2023, y presumiblemente quieren verse bien, y (3) el país necesita ingresos fiscales adicionales para respaldar el sistema de seguridad social, y la contribución del impuesto especial al tabaco más alto ayudará. Panamá es un lugar súper interesante desde la perspectiva del control del tabaco. Le indiqué a la Dra. Ana y al Dr. Roa que sería un caso de estudio fascinante. La historia de Panamá debe contarse, porque puede tener relevancia para algunos otros países. La historia es particularmente relevante en el contexto de albergar la COP y la MOP. A continuación algunas reflexiones. Uno de los aspectos más interesantes de Panamá es que pudieron disminuir la prevalencia del tabaquismo de muy por encima del 30 % en la década de 1980 a un poco menos del 5 % en 2019, el año más reciente en el que se realizó una encuesta. En la mayoría de los países, una disminución sustancial en la prevalencia del tabaquismo está asociada con un gran aumento en el impuesto especial. Este no ha sido el caso en Panamá. De hecho, por información recibida de la Dra. Reina Roa, Panamá introdujo un impuesto ad valorem del 35 % en 1995. En 2009 aumentó el impuesto especial al 100 % ad valorem e introdujo un impuesto mínimo de 1,50 PAB (1 PAB = 1 balboa = 1 USD). La tasa del IVA, que generalmente es del 7% en todo el país, se fija en el 15% para los productos del tabaco y en el 10% para los productos alcohólicos. Desde 2009, el impuesto especial no ha cambiado. Según Dra. Roa, algunos diputados querían aumentar el impuesto especial sobre los productos del tabaco. Erróneamente pensaron que la legislación fiscal de 1995 todavía estaba vigente y sugirieron que el impuesto debería aumentar del 35% al 50% ad valorem. Parece que no se habían puesto en contacto con el Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas, porque si lo hubieran estado, el Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas les habría informado sobre la legislación fiscal de 2009. Cuando se descubrió el error, los miembros del parlamento sugirieron que el impuesto debería aumentarse del 100% al 150%. No se dijo nada sobre el piso mínimo de impuestos. En la reunión de marzo de 2022, hice un fuerte llamado a aumentar el piso mínimo del impuesto, lo que habría hecho que la estructura del impuesto fuera más específica que ad valorem. Esto está en línea con las mejores prácticas en la tributación del tabaco. Dra. Roa indicó que se dio el primer debate de la nueva legislación tributaria (que aumenta el impuesto ad valorem al 150%). Sin embargo, debido a que el piso mínimo ya forma parte de la legislación, mencionó que se podría pedir un aumento del piso mínimo en el segundo debate. La cifra que se mencionó es para aumentarla a PAB 2.50. En marzo de 2022 indicamos un piso tributario mínimo de PAB 4.00, pero todos en la sala sabían que eso era bastante ambicioso. La Dra. Roa manifestó que mencionó esta aspiración a la persona pertinente en el Parlamento, pero recibió la respuesta de que probablemente esto sea demasiado. Específicamente le pregunté al Dr. Roa cuál era el secreto del éxito de Panamá con el control del tabaco. Mencionó que el país se ha tomado muy en serio el control del tabaco y es visto como una política de Estado, por lo que desde la aprobación del CMCT todas las administraciones han impulsado su implementación y se ha fortalecido la legislación nacional al respecto, así como la vigilancia de su cumplimiento. El país ha prohibido toda publicidad, promoción y patrocinio del tabaco. Está prohibido fumar en interiores y se realizan mediciones de humo de tabaco ambiental en los lugares regulados por la Ley. (Para ser justos, este es el caso en muchos países). Panamá cuenta con alrededor de 56 clínicas para dejar de fumar en todo el país. Estos se ubican principalmente en el primer nivel de atención de la salud, aunque algunos hospitales también los tienen. Fumar se ha desnormalizado por completo. La GYTS indica que el 7,8% de los jóvenes alguna vez ha probado un producto de tabaco. El próximo GATS está planificado para 2025. Con base en los ingresos por impuestos especiales, que han disminuido drásticamente en 2020 y 2021, el Dr. Roa cree que la prevalencia del tabaquismo ha disminuido durante el período de Covid, en lugar de que haya habido un aumento en el comercio ilícito. Sin embargo, el comercio ilícito es bastante alto (usamos una incidencia del 30% en el modelo) y ciertamente es motivo de preocupación. Los cigarrillos electrónicos están oficialmente prohibidos en Panamá desde 2009, aunque en la Encuesta Nacional de Salud de Panamá 2019 se determinó que alrededor del 1% de los encuestados mayores de 15 años han usado cigarrillos electrónicos. La mitad de los ingresos por impuestos especiales recaudados del tabaco se destinan: 10% al departamento de Aduanas para combatir el comercio ilícito; 20% al Ministerio de Salud para implementar, monitorear y hacer cumplir una fuerte política de control del tabaco y 20% al Instituto de Oncología para tratar pacientes con cáncer. Consultada sobre si estos beneficiarios están preocupados por la disminución de los ingresos del impuesto al consumo de tabaco, la Dra. Roa dice que no lo son. En primer lugar, tienen otras fuentes de ingresos y, en segundo lugar, una disminución de la prevalencia del tabaquismo hace que disminuya la demanda de servicios de tabaquismo, oncología y enfermedades cardiovasculares, entre otras patologías asociadas al tabaco. Uno de los fundamentos de la iniciativa legislativa presentada en septiembre de 2022, para aumentar los impuestos especiales sobre los productos del tabaco, es destinar el 50% restante de los ingresos a la seguridad social. El sistema de seguridad social parece estar en problemas y enfrenta desafíos muy importantes en los próximos años, ya que la población envejece y los fondos son insuficientes. El Dr. Roa es bastante agnóstico acerca de destinar el otro 50%, porque la cantidad de dinero generada de esta manera es demasiado pequeña para hacer una mella decente en los requisitos de financiación. Panamá está claramente en territorio de final de juego. Fumar está muy pasado de moda. El tabaquismo entre turistas y extranjeros es mucho mayor que entre los locales. Sin embargo, entre los grupos de población originarios, la prevalencia del tabaquismo es mucho mayor que en la población general, lo que se superpone con el mapa general de pobreza. El tabaquismo y la pobreza tienen una fuerte correlación positiva. Cuando se le preguntó qué porcentaje de fumadores le gustaría, la Dra. Roa mencionó idealmente un 0 %, pero en realidad un 3 %. Mi sospecha es que el AGCS de 2025 podría mostrar que el objetivo del 3 % está muy cerca. De hecho, con base en las cifras de 2019, el 4,9 % de la población adulta indicó que son fumadores habituales, mientras que el 3,1 % indicó que son fumadores diarios. Eso implica que el 1,8% de la población son fumadores no diarios, y presumiblemente no tan adictos como los fumadores diarios. Estos fumadores no diarios deberían ser el objetivo de futuras intervenciones." | Asistencia Prestada: Panamá ha facilitado apoyo financiero para ofrecer asistencia técnica y capacitación a los Estados Partes y no Partes, a través del Secretariado de CMCT.

| Montenegro | EUR | Up to now, the WHO has continuously provided assistance related to the provision of materials, educational programs in the form of seminars, workshops and other meetings, and partially necessary funds for the implementation of the aforementioned research. The Government of Montenegro and the Ministry of Health provide guidelines, training materials necessary for the implementation of tobacco control programs in the country, health and educational institutions. However, distribution of any of the listed elements outside the country is not guaranteed. We believe that we need more frequent and comprehensive communication assistance from international entities and countries with a longer tradition in the field of tobacco control (exchange of experiences, training, professional assistance in the development and improvement of plans, programs, strategies, promotional materials, development of resources for monitoring implementation activities, etc. .) and work more closely on the development of human resources and other capacities in the field of tobacco control. In addition, it is important to strengthen research on the prevalence of smoking, in order to create appropriate policies based on the available data. It is necessary to provide interdepartmental cooperation and define tobacco control as a priority. In addition, it is necessary to ensure the competent involvement of other sectors besides health in tobacco control activities. In addition to the WHO, the research on quality of life, lifestyles and health risks of the inhabitants of Montenegro in 2017 was carried out with the financial support of the European Union, with the support of the European Center for Monitoring Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), within the IPA project CT-2015/361-979 , "Further preparation of IPA users for participation in the work of the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA)". | We received the assistance from WHO in materials, as well as educational programmes in form of seminars, workshops and other meetings and partly related to conducting research..
