European Union: Europe's Beating Cancer Plan Aims to Reduce Harmful Alcohol Consumption and Improve Access to Healthy Diets

On February 3, 2021, the European Commission published its Europe's Beating Cancer Plan. Part of the plan includes actions to be taken by the EU and its Member States to increase cancer prevention across the Union. This includes reducing harmful alcohol consumption, improving access to healthy diets, a review of the EU promotion programs for agricultural products, a study on tax measures on sugars and soft drinks and the reduction of exposure to hazardous substances. Depending on how the recommendations are implemented, the new measures may affect U.S. exports of agricultural and food products.
