FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE DE L'AUTOMOBILE Le President
Dear Ms. White Thank you for your fax of 12 September. We always obey the law in each country we visit. In most countries, the laws are decided by elected representatives, as you say. In some countries tobacco sponsorship is allowed. In others it is not. We would not attempt to hold a Formula One race in a country where it is not allowed. The two exceptions are France and the UK, where respectively a law and a voluntary agreement are of long standing and the cars have raced without sponsorship for many years. We have ourselves voted a complete ban on tobacco sponsorship in motor sport from 1 October 2006. Yours sincerely,
