Panama became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on February 27, 2005. The government or its entities make public knowledge of their meetings or interactions with the tobacco industry on regulatory issues based on the general regulations contained in Law 6 of January 22, 2002, on Habeas Data in which interested parties may be able to make the request under the relevant confidentiality restrictions. With regard to accreditation for participation, in committees such as the National Assembly, participation is open to the groups affected or involved in any legislation or implementation of standards, before which each party establishes and accredits its representatives.
