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.

The second interview took place after the Commission went ahead with two major initiatives in its efforts to combat obesity
and promote physical activity - the White Paper on Nutrition (endorsed on May 30, 2007) and the joint TV advertising
campaign with UEFA (launched on August 30, 2007).
