    La Commission européenne a proposé de prolonger de deux ans le financement du Fonds communautaire du tabac. Depuis la réforme de l'organisation commune de marché dans le secteur du tabac en 2004, le Fonds a financé des programmes d'information visant sensibiliser le public aux effets nocifs de la consommation de tabac. En ce qui concerne la période de financement actuelle, le Fonds soutient la campagne "HELP, pour une vie sans tabac!" (voir <a href="http://www.help-eu.co">www.help-eu.co).

    The European Commission has today published the second call for proposals for the creation and upgrade of freight transport services under the Marco Polo II programme.

Companies across the European Union and beyond are invited to submit proposals in the second Marco Polo programme.
