Thank you Mr Commissioner for accepting our "rendez-vous" . May I ask you to introduce yourself ?
My name is David Byrne and I am European Commissioner for Health and
Consumer Protection. I started this job last September and before that
I have been Attorney General in my home-country, in Ireland. I am a
lawyer by training.
Tobacco control falls within my area of responsibility and I take a
particular interest in it since I am convinced it is one of the major
themes of the new millenium if we are to reduce its appaling death
toll.
