On 8 December 2005, the Commission adopted a Green Paper entitled "Promoting healthy diets and physical activity: a European dimension for the prevention of overweight, obesity and chronic diseases".
The Commission’s Green Paper on the promotion of healthy diets and physical activity is the first step in an extensive public consultation on how to reduce and to prevent the rising levels of obesity and associated chronic diseases in the European Union (EU).
In order to prepare its response to the Green Paper (deadline 15th March 2006), EPHA has prepared a briefing note which presents several first comments.
EPHA members can find information and deadlines to send their comments to the Secretariat in the members only area.
