NordAN has submitted a contribution to the European Commission’s TRIS procedure supporting Lithuania’s proposal to restrict the sale of certain alcohol-branded non-alcoholic drinks to people under 18.

A new amendment proposal in the Estonian Parliament would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to work in jobs involving the preparation, offering and sale of alcoholic beverages. Public health organisations warn that the proposal would weaken the protection of minors and send a contradictory message about alcohol prevention.
