This
Report
of the
ad hoc Round Table on
Advertising is developed on the
responsibility of DG SANCO.
The Round Table was set up
in October 2005 in response to
a request by advertisers for
guidance and support at the
current stage of their
endeavours.
The report reflects the
debate and contributions from
the participants in the
Advertising Round Tables of 3
one-day sessions in October
2005, January 2006 and May
2006. It seeks to draw together
the issues identified during
these debates between some
Commission colleagues, some
interested NGOs and
representatives of the European
Advertising Standards Alliance
(EASA).
The goal of this series of
discussions was the clearer
definition of a Best practice
model for self-regulation.
This report will also
provide a useful input to
ongoing reflection across the
EU around self-regulation. This
is not so much a debate about
self-regulation against hard
law, but rather a debate about
how law and self-regulation can
and should interact in modern
Europe.
