"For public health reasons, I have chosen today not to support Mr Rosati’s report on amending the directive on the general arrangements for products subject to excise duty, such as alcohol and tobacco. Neither the Commission’s proposal nor the European Parliament’s report safeguard public health to the degree I believe is desirable. Rightly used, and in conjunction with other measures, indicative guide levels can play an important role in establishing whether products are held for commercial purposes or for the personal use of private individuals. With a view to limiting the harmful effects of alcohol and working to reduce total alcohol consumption, I believe that the guide levels should remain. Special efforts should also be made to harmonise excise duty levels with the express objective of reducing the harm caused by tobacco and alcohol."@en1
