I think that the way the TVECA letter is worded it does come across as authoritative and supported by a large % of industry.
I can see the argument that "this isn't a terrible compromise, and not long ago we didn't think we'd even get that" that FA and others are saying, but the present text of article 18 bans flavours for e-liquids by virtue of the fact that it bans labelling of said flavours. It's just a giant mess and I think that it would be much better to throw the whole lot out rather than patch it up even more and make it longer and even more complicated.
If we end up with this as law it's not the end of the world, but we can do so much better. Which is why my views line up with ECITA's take on article 18 and the TPD and not TVECAs.
