"I voted in favour of this important resolution as it aims to provide solutions to alcohol-related harm. This is the third highest cause of preventable premature death and disease in Europe and it is a serious problem both in Ireland and across Europe.
Excessive drinking is an extremely serious public health issue, which takes a heavy human toll on individuals, families and the community at large. Sinn Féin’s alcohol strategy focuses on preventing the negative impacts of alcohol on the unborn and on young people, as well as in the workplace and in relation to road safety.
Unfortunately, industry lobbying prevented the mandatory labelling of the calorie count in alcoholic drinks, but we want the Commission to revisit that issue. The Commission had a mandate to report on this requirement, which was due last December, and we are still waiting for it.
Prevention and the stringent enforcement of legislation to prevent the sale of alcohol to minors are absolute priorities at a time when drinking habits and patterns are causing serious harm."@en1
