How does  European Union law making work?

We plan to discuss tobacco, the truth about cigarette plain packaging, alcohol law and pharmacovigilance in particular, but this will be a fairly informal discussion. There are plenty of topics:

• The new EU Health Programme, in the context of Europe 2020;
• The CAP and its implications for health;  getting health onto the CAP reform agenda;
• DG Regio`s proposals for inclusion of health development in regional development, and use of Structural Funds for health generally;
• The Patients Rights Directive, and its implementation in UK;
• The role of UK-based health offices in Brussels.
