Brussels, 16 April 2008

Ladies and gentlemen,

As the new Commissioner for Health, I am very pleased to have the opportunity to meet you, the members and observers of the European Alcohol and Health Forum. It is now around 10 months that my predecessor Markos Kyprianou launched the European Alcohol and Health Forum. It was established as a formal and openprocess, bringing together players willing to enter into binding and verifiable commitments that could help to reduce alcohol-related harm.
