"Mr President, I voted for the Maaten report approximating the provisions on the sale of tobacco products. It is a well-known fact that diseases caused by smoking tobacco reduce the number of pensioners because they reduce life-expectancy. I can therefore only support this directive which, although intended to regulate the internal market, also limits or seeks to limit the harm caused by cigarette smoke to the people of the European Union. I would also add that I support that part of the proposal which calls for harmful tobacco products not to be sold outside the European Union. It is true that in doing this we would be reducing our production for export, but it is also true that the European Union would be acquiring the reputation of selling healthy products, and that can only be a good thing."@en1
