Dear Minister Joller,

I am Stephen Buss, Managing Director of Vape Compliance Ltd in the
United Kingdom. I have developed an independent public-sector
implementation architecture linking tobacco and nicotine policy,
legislation, technical standards, evidence, conformity assessment,
market surveillance and enforcement.

For Estonia, the authoritative layer would remain Estonia’s own
transposition of Directive 2014/40/EU, its additional national
measures, competent-authority arrangements and enforcement practice.
The architecture maps that national interpretation rather than
imposing another Member State’s approach, while allowing controlled
cross-border comparison.

The immediate policy question is whether national implementation,
market surveillance and cross-border enforcement are sufficiently
connected to identify and act on products whose regulatory status
changes when they move between Member States.

The architecture addresses practical gaps including
nicotine-containing versus 0% nicotine products; products permitted,
notified or classified one way in one Member State but prohibited,
restricted or treated differently in another; sampling, laboratory
evidence, measurement uncertainty and decision thresholds; physical
and online retail controls; traceability and economic-operator
responsibility; and post-implementation evaluation. It can also
support a bounded national baseline assurance exercise across physical
and online retail, generating structured intelligence for
proportionate surveillance without replacing competent authorities.

The supporting estate includes Policy, Adoption and Implementation
Companions, evidence and audit tools, and controlled jurisdictional
modules. These can be made available for technical and policy review
under a bounded scope appropriate to government. The work has been
discussed through relevant institutional interfaces including UKAS on
accreditation and conformity assessment, ISO/TC 126/SC 3 and CEN/TC
437 on vapour-product standardisation, BSI on the UK standards route,
and Government Chemist/NML on sampling, measurement uncertainty and
defensible decision thresholds. These are engagements, not
endorsements. Wider modules cover the UK, US, China and Canada for
comparative purposes.

I would welcome the opportunity to provide your officials with a short
Estonia-specific controlled briefing and review pack, or to be
directed to the appropriate senior official responsible for tobacco
and nicotine implementation.

Kind regards,

Stephen Buss
Managing Director, Vape Compliance Ltd

— Eestikeelne versioon —

Lugupeetud minister Joller,

Minu nimi on Stephen Buss ja olen Ühendkuningriigis tegutseva Vape
Compliance Ltd tegevdirektor. Olen välja töötanud sõltumatu avaliku
sektori rakendusarhitektuuri, mis seob tubaka- ja nikotiinipoliitika,
õigusaktid, tehnilised standardid, tõendusmaterjali,
vastavushindamise, turujärelevalve ja jõustamise.

Eesti puhul jäävad määravaks Eesti enda direktiivi 2014/40/EL
ülevõtmine, täiendavad riiklikud meetmed, pädevate asutuste ülesehitus
ja jõustamispraktika. Arhitektuur kaardistab Eesti riikliku
tõlgenduse, mitte ei suru peale teise liikmesriigi lähenemist,
võimaldades samal ajal kontrollitud piiriülest võrdlust.

Vahetu poliitikaküsimus on, kas riiklik rakendamine, turujärelevalve
ja piiriülene jõustamine on piisavalt ühendatud, et tuvastada ja
käsitleda tooteid, mille regulatiivne staatus liikmesriikide vahel
liikumisel muutub.

Arhitektuur käsitleb praktilisi lünki, sealhulgas nikotiini sisaldavad
tooted võrreldes 0% nikotiiniga toodetega; tooted, mis on ühes
liikmesriigis lubatud, teavitatud või ühel viisil klassifitseeritud,
kuid teises keelatud, piiratud või teistsuguse käsitlusega;
proovivõtt, laboratoorsed tõendid, mõõtemääramatus ja otsustusläved;
füüsilise ja veebijaemüügi kontrollid; jälgitavus ja majandustegevuses
osalejate vastutus; ning rakendamisjärgne hindamine. Samuti võib see
toetada piiritletud riiklikku lähteolukorra hindamist füüsilises ja
veebijaemüügis, et luua struktureeritud teavet proportsionaalseks
järelevalveks ilma pädevaid asutusi asendamata.

Toetav dokumentatsioon hõlmab poliitika, kasutuselevõtu ja rakendamise
kaasdokumente, tõendus- ja auditivahendeid ning kontrollitud
jurisdiktsioonimooduleid. Need saab teha kättesaadavaks tehniliseks ja
poliitikakontrolliks valitsusele sobivas piiritletud ulatuses. Tööd on
arutatud asjakohaste institutsiooniliste osapooltega, sealhulgas
UKAS-iga akrediteerimise ja vastavushindamise küsimustes, ISO/TC
126/SC 3 ja CEN/TC 437-ga aurustamistoodete standardimise küsimustes,
BSI-ga Ühendkuningriigi standardimisraja osas ning Government
Chemist/NML-iga proovivõtu, mõõtemääramatuse ja põhjendatavate
otsustuslävede osas. Need on ametialased kontaktid ja arutelud, mitte
ametlik heakskiit või tunnustus. Laiemad moodulid hõlmavad võrdluse
eesmärgil Ühendkuningriiki, USA-d, Hiinat ja Kanadat.

Mul oleks hea meel esitada Teie ametnikele lühike Eesti-spetsiifiline
kontrollitud ülevaade ja läbivaatamispakett või saada suunamine sobiva
kõrgema ametniku juurde, kes vastutab tubaka- ja
nikotiiniregulatsiooni rakendamise eest.

Lugupidamisega,

Stephen Buss
Managing Director, Vape Compliance Ltd
