Professor Des Cox:

In regard to flavouring, the Deputy mentioned three countries but there are a number of other countries, like the Netherlands, Denmark and Ukraine, which have also enacted a flavouring ban or are in the process of doing it. There is a growing concern around flavourings across the EU. As I said, our group’s position is that we would be supportive of a ban on flavouring and we would suggest the committee takes that recommendation on board.
