Through our Observer membership at Codex, we informed several e-working groups: the one reviewing the General Standard for the Labelling of Prepacked Food (GSLPF), the one developing the first ever international guidelines for e-commerce of food products and the one looking at the use of technology for food labelling.

With a legislative tobacco control agenda already delayed, the new European Parliament elected in 2024 broke the previous consensus in fighting tobacco smoke and tried to water down the European Commission proposal for smokefree environments. EFA co-signed a statement calling on the Ministers of Health at the Council to support the science-based proposal by the European Commission towards protecting vulnerable groups from harmful second-hand smoke<a href=\"https:\/\/ers.app.box.com\/s\/w42pnue9e3jjri3w50yj6sf5qyal0ved\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">[5]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with our partners in the European Lung Health Group (ELHG), EFA welcomed the long-awaited adoption of the updated Council recommendation on Smoke- and Aerosol Free Environments<a href=\"https:\/\/breathevision.eu\/images\/ELHG_reaction_SFE_Council_recommendation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">[6]<\/a>. The recommendation brings robust directions for Member States to advance towards clean air from smoke in public spaces.
