Dear Estonia Health Board,

Habanos Nordic AB is a company that supports six different EU countries through the EU-CEG portal. It means that we are handling all EU-CEG registrations for: Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania.  Our work in the EU-CEG portal is to make adjustments according to the rules set by the EU Commission. This includes removal, new registration and amendments of pack size to existing EU-CEG registrations.

The below Product IDś have been amendments for the market of: Sweden, Denmark and Lithuania. The amendments were for additional pack size that have been added to each of the Product IDś, NOT FOR ESTONIA.

This kind of actions have nothing to do with Estonia and therefore your action and message below is not Correct.

It seems that the Health Board have received a notification from EU-CEG, which is the reason for your below email, but the notification DON’T involve the Estonian market.

Every time our company use EU-CEG for some reason you will receive a notification, but you can’t continue to send emails regarding payment for actions that DON’T involve Estonia!

If you have any further question on how the EU-CEG system works don’t hesitate to come back to me.

Best regards,

Stephan Praetorius
