Robert Madelin Interviews


What have been the achievements of the Commission's Platform for Action on Diet, Physical Activity & Health? What challenges do the Platform's members face in delivering on their commitments? Is industry self-regulation enough to address the obesity epidemic in Europe? What are the next steps for the Platform?

Robert Madelin, Director-General of the Commission's DG for Health and Consumers, answers these questions and more, in two interviews. He gave the first one last March on the platform's second anniversary.
