EU Hof van Justitie: Aanname tabaksrichtlijn was wettelijk

The European Court of Justice has concluded that the new EU tobacco directive of 2014 was lawfully adopted. This applies in particular to a number of issues, including the standardisation of the labelling and packaging of tobacco products (such as size, minimum content, warnings and permitted information).
The requirements relating to the shape, size and minimum content of cigarette packets are proportionate. They make a particular contribution to increasing the visibility of health warnings and maximising their efficacy. The coolness or fun factor and the curiosity that may be inherent in new or unusual packaging then has a lesser influence on the decision to purchase (Persbericht EU Hof van Justitie, 23 december 2015).
