EC to take action against Greek toy advertising ban

Article Abstract:

Following a two year wait the European Commission has finally decided to challenge Greece on its policy of preventing any advertisements for toys appearing on Greek television. Toy manufacturers welcome this decision but express concern that Greece will continue to stop advertising which toy makers see as an important part of the European Uniion policy on freedom to trade. Limiting advertising aimed at children is likely to be included in polices due for consideration at the European Parliament.

Advertising targeting children in Europe at risk

Article Abstract:

The European Commission is set to vote on an issue that could outlaw advertising aimed at children. Following a debate in early December 1995 when 20 commissioners met to decide whether the Greek government's ban on toy advertising contravenes the Treaty of Rome, a vote will be held to decide the outcome.
