    Cyprus Commissioner to take initiatives on health and food safety

    Nicosia, Oct 8 (CNA) -- Markos Kyprianou, European Union Commissioner designate for Health and Consumer Protection, has promised to take initiatives with regard to public health, to enforcement of regulations on food safety, to campaigning against smoking and other related issues.

    Speaking at a press conference in Brussels, after a hearing before the European Parliament, he also said that he would work to create consumer confidence and ensure that European citizens enjoy the same or equal protection throughout the Union.

    In his opening remarks, he said his priorities would be the protection of the consumer, the European citizen, whether this concerns public health or food safety or consumer protection.

    ''Emphasis will be given on creating consumer confidence based on the reality that the consumer has the same or equal protection in all the member states,'' he said, adding that consumer confidence is an important factor in all members for the internal market.

    Kyprianou, a former Finance Minister in Cyprus, said emphasis will also be given on enforcement of all existing regulations, which, as he pointed out, should be more strictly applied, especially in the protection in the field of food safety and consumer protection.
