"Mr President, I have voted decidedly in favour of the amended proposal and of the legislative resolution with regard to the new tobacco directive. It is certainly the case that the texts need to be cleaned up because we have adopted quite a few texts which, according to the rules of lawmaking, do not belong in this directive at all. Despite this, these texts too are of value because they send out a message. They show that Parliament puts public health first.
Protecting public health is effectively our responsibility. Even if we harmonise legislation, public health should not be compromised in any way. Public health is not just any old interest, it is of general interest. Today, we have proved that we stand for this, and that is how it should be."@en1
