".
As we all know, the Court of Justice annulled Directive 98/43/CE, on the grounds that the article of the Treaty chosen as its legal basis precludes harmonisation designed to protect human health, and that its action should instead be to complement that decided on by the EU’s Member States. In fact, the general ban on the advertising and sponsorship of tobacco products it provides for exceeded the competence enshrined in the Treaty and was even in breach of the rules on freedom of movement shaping the internal market. The new proposal for a directive therefore seeks to establish, in terms which are in accordance with the EC Treaty, a less restrictive framework, with new objectives for public health protection, in the conviction that tobacco is a product that is harmful to health, that deterrence from its consumption must be promoted, particularly where younger people are concerned. The proposal also seeks, whilst respecting the rules of competition and of the internal market, to prevent its widespread promotion in the media. These are the reasons why I agree with this report."@en1
