Promoting healthy diets and physical activity
Name: Promoting healthy diets and physical activity: a European dimension for the prevention of overweight, obesity and chronic diseases
Source: The European Commission
Date: March 2006
Following the publication of the European Commission Green Paper entitled ‘Promoting healthy diets and physical activity: a European dimension for the prevention of overweight, obesity and chronic diseases’, the Commission held a consultation on the paper's proposals.
Cancer Research UK supports the core principles embedded in the Green paper, that Community level action has an important role in complementing action taken by Members States to improve health. We believe that Community action to improve diet and opportunities for physical activity is useful in conjunction with national level action, unless Community programmes prevent Member States from acting effectively.
