Capturing Upstream Regulation ‘‘Working the System’’—British American Tobacco’s Influence on the European Union Treaty and Its Implications for Policy: An Analysis of Internal Tobacco Industry Documents (Smith et als, 2010, PLoS Med 7: doi: /journal.pmed ) BAT combined with 40+ companies: Coca Cola, Marks & Spencer, Diagio, Rolls Royce … Lobbied to require Risk- & Impact-Assessment in EU policy-making EU policy-making privileges corporate ‘costs’ above public ‘benefits’ BAT working to replicate in other jurisdictions
