"We had an alcohol strategy in place from 2006 until 2012, focused on preventing the negative impacts of alcohol on the unborn and our youth, as well as in the workplace and in relation to road safety. We want it back.
Unfortunately, industry lobbying prevented the mandatory labelling of the calorie count in alcoholic drinks but we want the Commission to revisit the issue. The Commission had a mandate to report on this requirement, which was due last December, and we are still waiting for it. The right wing voted to restrict the scope of the demand to so-called ‘alcopops’, but thankfully a majority of colleagues defeated that. It is a matter of information, awareness and consumer choice, which even the European brewing industry has come to support.
Prevention and the stringent enforcement of legislation to prevent the sale of alcohol to minors are absolute priorities at a time when very worrisome drinking habits and patterns are causing serious harm."@en1
