The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) has fined Japan Tobacco International (JTI) for forming exclusivity agreements with Dutch student organisations, NLtimes reported, citing comments from the Dutch news agency ANP.

Using research from Tabak, a collaboration between investigative journalists and the Dutch Journal of Medicine, NVWA found that Dutch student groups had been paid by JTI to exclusively sell Winston and Camel brands in cigarette vending machines within the confines of each given organisation, according to NLtimes.
The NVWA reportedly imposed nine fines of an undisclosed amount on JTI, NLtimes reported.
