Public health should be considered when the European Commission formulates proposals on alcohol excise duties, the CED warned in its letter of 25 November. Commenting on a public consultation on the review of the existing "structures" legislation of excise duties on alcohol and alcoholic beverages, CED President Dr. Marco Landi and Chair of Working Group Oral Health Dr. Hendrike van Drie noted the destructive effects of excessive alcohol consumption on oral and general health.
The CED is organising a public event on Oral Cancer: Dentists saving lives. The event will take place on 23 June in the European Parliament in Brussels and will be hosted by Mr Alojz Peterle, Member of the European Parliament and President of the MEPs against cancer (MAC) Group.
