4:36 Swedish Match's MRTP application.
That's being able to market your product as a modified risk product.
5:31 How hard it is to get this to market as a modified risk product.
There is no clear path showing you how to do it and only Swedish Match has been able to accomplish that.
6:17 No real answer to the question of whether the MRTP application was supposed to be a Substantial Equivalence Application.
But that rumor which has been floating around for a bit was acknowledged.
This of course is a political decision but this is in the agency's best interest politically to approve one because they had never done so before.
8:01 Alex Clark and Brian Carter of CASAA spoke. No record of that is on You Tube as there was a lack of space on the sd card.
There should be an interview with Chad jones and Alex and Brian sometime soon.
