The EU must take more action to regulate addictive harmful products
Two years ago, Members of the European Parliament (MEP) adopted the Report on the Beating Cancer Plan. They stated that “comprehensive preventive actions against cancer, through measures supporting the elimination or reduction of harm caused by modifiable risk factors should be implemented across all European policies and funding programmes”. In particular, MEPs encouraged the Commission to “promote actions to reduce and prevent alcohol-related harm”. They also called the Commission to enact evidence-based policies, backed by the scientific community.
