16 Sixty-third World Health Assembly, May 2 Endorsed the global strategy to reduce the harmful use of alcohol. World Health Assembly resolution WHA63.13 European action plan to reduce the harmful use of alcohol (EAAP) action areas Leadership, awareness and commitment, as sustainable intersectoral action requires strong leadership and a solid base of awareness and political will Health services response, as these services are central to tackling health conditions in individuals caused by harmful alcohol use Community action, as governments and other stakeholders can support and empower communities in adopting effective approaches to prevent and reduce harmful alcohol use Policies and countermeasures on drink driving, as it is extremely dangerous to drivers, passengers and other people using the roads Availability of alcohol, as public health policies to regulate commercial or public availability have proved to be very effective in reducing the general level of harmful use and drinking among minors 16

17 EAAP action areas Marketing of alcoholic beverages, as systems are needed to protect people, particularly children and young people, from advanced advertising and promotion techniques Pricing policies, as most consumers, particularly heavy drinkers and young people, are sensitive to changes in the prices of alcohol products Reducing the negative consequences of drinking and alcohol intoxication, in order to minimize violence, intoxication and harm to intoxicated people Reducing the public health impact of illicit and informally produced alcohol, as its consumption could have additional negative health consequences due to its higher ethanol content and potential contamination with toxic substances Monitoring and surveillance, as relevant data create the basis for the appropriate delivery and success of responses 17
