Event explores European Commission
decision to exempt alcohol from EU labelling legislation
The European
Parliament in Brussels is the venue for today’s event on the state of alcohol
labelling in the European Union (EU). Hosted by Glenis Willmott MEP (Labour, East Midlands), ‘What’s
not on the bottle? State of alcohol labelling in the EU’
aims to look into the European Commission provision exempting alcoholic
beverages from consumer
legislation requiring food and drinks companies to label
information about their products.
The event
also features presentations from Lars Møller (World
Health Organisation Europe); Ilaria Passarani (Head of Food and Health, European
Consumer Organization (BEUC)); and Philippe Roux (Head
of Unit, DG SANCO C4).
