Proces deregulacji nie dotyczy branży tytoniowej. Jest propozycja kolejnej ustawy w ciągu kilku miesięcy
Najpierw wprowadzenie podatku akcyzowego na saszetki nikotynowe, potem propozycja przepisów, które zmierzają do wycofania tych produktów z rynku – przedstawiciele środowisk biznesowych podkreślają, że przygotowywane przez resort zdrowia przepisy wprowadzają chaos legislacyjny w branży tytoniowej. To tym bardziej dziwi przedsiębiorców, że stoi w opozycji do prowadzonego przez rząd procesu deregulacji w gospodarce. W dodatku może mieć negatywne skutki dla budżetu państwa i doprowadzić do skokowego wzrostu szarej strefy.

Trwają próby wzmocnienia dialogu społecznego. Niespokojne czasy wymuszają większe zaangażowanie społeczeństwa w podejmowanie decyzji

Według zapowiedzi szefowej Komisji Europejskiej Ursuli von der Leyen głos partnerów społecznych i dialog społeczny będą stały w centrum procesu decyzyjnego w Europie. Taki jest cel podpisanego w marcu Paktu na rzecz europejskiego dialogu społecznego. Potrzeba wzmocnienia głosu społeczeństwa jest również podkreślana na forum krajowym. Rząd planuje reformę Rady Dialogu Społecznego, by usprawnić pracę tej instytucji, a przedsiębiorcy wzywają do rzetelnego konsultowania ze stroną społeczną ustaw, które wychodzą z rządu.
