NordAN has contributed to a Danish consultation on electronic age verification, welcoming stronger checks while calling for effective enforcement and an 18-year purchase age for all alcohol.

Movendi Sweden warns that recent and proposed changes to Swedish alcohol policy, including abolishing the food requirement, extending serving hours and lowering the Systembolaget age limit, will increase alcohol-related harm and deaths.

From 1 April 2025, drinks over 6% alcohol can no longer be sold to under-18s in Denmark. New age limits and fines apply.
