Regional Office for Europe AB - The European Region was given a clear indication of the issue on which it should concentrate its efforts when the Fortieth World Health Assembly gave a very strong directive in its resolutions on tobacco (WHA40.38) in 1987. Following the lead of the World Health Assembly, the Thirty-seventh session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe passed resolution EUR/RC37/R9, approving an Action Plan on Tobacco. One of the provisions of this Action Plan was that a European conference should be held to provide Member States with a set of guidelines on tobacco policy and to launch a promotional campaign. The first European Conference on Tobacco Policy, which this report describes, was organized by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs of Spain and the Commission of the European Communities, with the support of WHO headquarters, the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the International Union Against Cancer. Participants from 27 Member States of the Region and four countries outside Europe met for five days to discuss all aspects of a tobacco control policy, and the measures that could be taken immediately to promote such a policy. As a result of their deliberations, they endorsed a charter recognizing people’s moral right to be protected not only from the diseases tobacco causes but also from the pollution created by tobacco smoke.
