lpv:translated text	"The Swedish Christian Democrats have today voted in favour of significantly stricter rules for the tobacco industry, including the proposal that as much as 40 per cent of the space on packets of tobacco products should be taken up with health warnings, compared with the 25 per cent proposed by the Commission. We are also in favour of no longer permitting any references to ‘light’ or ‘milder’ tobacco, as well as of phasing out subsidies for tobacco cultivation within the EU as soon as possible, for this form of subsidy is directly at variance with the EU’s efforts and initiatives to improve public health. Moreover, we wish to abolish the peculiar tobacco derogation granted to Greece. When it comes to the continued ban on sales of snuff to other EU countries, we Swedish Christian Democrats consider that account should be taken of the unwillingness of these countries to introduce a new product they consider to be habit-forming and destructive from a public health point of view. Sweden ought not, in the name of free trade and the internal market, to force snuff products upon other countries and peoples if they do not want them. In the same way, the Commission ought to have shown similar respect for Swedish alcohol policy by having extended and made permanent Sweden’s 1994 derogation concerning private imports of alcohol."@en1
