lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish to thank the Commissioner for his answer. I interpret this as indicating that this work will now be entering a more intensive phase and that it will result in a good many practical measures. So far, we have unfortunately seen the Commission more readily adopting measures to increase, rather than reduce, consumption. The latest example was seen as recently as last Monday. In a so-called justified opinion, the Commission demanded that Sweden repeal its ban on the private import of alcoholic drinks via independent intermediaries, that is to say without the purchaser having to go via the state retailing monopoly. Through this measure, the ability to monitor the age of purchasers would all but disappear, and it would become considerably more difficult to deduct the correct alcohol tax. In the light of this, I should like to put a further question to the Commissioner: if we are to formulate a strategy on this important public health problem, would it not be appropriate for different parts of the Commission to work towards the same objective?"@en1
