"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the ban on any form of television advertising for cigarettes and other tobacco products in Directive 89/552 and the more stringent labelling requirements for tobacco products introduced in this directive illustrate the ambivalent attitude of the European Union towards tobacco. On the one hand, tobacco crops are subsidised to the tune of over EUR 1 billion a year; on the other hand, we are trying to reduce the consumption of tobacco in the Union as much as possible. This dilemma must be resolved in the interests of the credibility of Community policy. The European Union must set itself the task of pursuing policies which our citizens can understand. There is an irresolvable contradiction between the promotion of tobacco cultivation, on the one hand, and the advertising ban, on the other. If this contradiction cannot be resolved at Community level, then the Union must fight to help attain a high level of health protection by supporting a reduction in tobacco cultivation at international level."@en1
