Alcohol policy is the only way of not avoiding the question. We must take care of the specificity of alcohol policy and if we make a pact together and if we ground the alcohol in public health in general, we know that we shall forget the question of alcohol now that they have left the EU a bit.
When over 20 NGOs resigned from the EU Alcohol and Health Forum, it sent ripples through the public health community. In this episode of the Alcohol Alert Podcast, Michel Craplet, senior medical adviser for the National Association for Prevention of Alcohol and Addictions (ANPAA), shares his take on the controversy and what it means for the future of alcohol policy in Europe.
Michel breaks down the events leading up to the mass resignation, highlighting the failure of lead Commissioner Andriukaitis to adopt a new EU Alcohol Strategy. He doesn't just stop at the past; he delves into what these developments mean for public health and how NGOs can still play a pivotal role in shaping alcohol policy. Michel also tackles the complexities of working with economic operators and health agencies, stressing the need for specific alcohol policies tailored to public health needs.
If you're keen to understand the intricate dynamics of alcohol policy in Europe, this episode offers an eye-opening perspective.
