The Irish Government has insisted it will not back down on plans to put health warnings on alcohol products, despite 11 EU countries firing “warning shots” noverthe damage the deal could do to trade in and out of this country.
Fine Gael MEP Brian Hayes said the minority government is determined to continue with the new legislation as any U-turn due to other EU members’ concerns would set “a dangerous precedent and must be opposed”.
It emerged over the weekend that 11 EU countries — Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, and the Netherlands — have lodged objections to the Government’s imminent public health alcohol bill.
