Cooperation in JTI projects with non-members
• EC boundary conditions w.r.t. financial contributions
– Major financial contribution from Artemisia is required to show
industrial commitment to JTI and cover its operational costs
– “Taxing” receipts from public funding via contribution per
person-year is not appropriate in JTI
– Paying contribution for Artemisia cannot be precondition for
participation in open calls for JTI projects and access to public
funding
• Artemisia approach in JTI projects with non-members
– Members have to use reasonable efforts to ensure that nonmembers in same JTI project pay variable contribution
– Members C pay for non-contributing non-members
