EU Alcohol Strategy

The EU strategy aims to help Member States exchange good practice on how to reduce alcohol-related harm effectively. It focuses on the policy areas which are the competence of Member States. The AER regrets that the European Commission has not taken this opportunity to take action in the fields of its responsibility, where alcohol is treated as a commodity, in particular the internal market rules on the free circulation and the availability of alcohol.
