"Mr President, is it really not naïve to think that this directive is the panacea for the adverse consequences of smoking? Does the European Commission really believe that a complete ban on tobacco advertising is going to stop people smoking?
This is wishful thinking as far as I am concerned. I also take the view that people must have the freedom to find out about products as long as they are not prohibited products. I also think that there are better ways of tackling this problem, for example by drafting European guidelines that lay down standards for tobacco goods.
Finally, I should like to draw your attention to the fact that what we have here is a contradiction
. We are going to ban tobacco advertising, but each year millions in European subsidies go to tobacco growers. Make of that what you will."@en1
