Commission delays report on alcohol labelling – again

EurActiv reported in November 2015 the European Commission had decided to again postpone the publication of a report on how to include alcoholic drinks under existing EU labelling rules on nutrition and ingredients.

The report was supposed to be adopted by December 2014, but was postponed until 'the end of 2015' by the Commission.
