Özet
welcome to the eNSP Tobacco Control ConferenceThe European Network for Smoking and Tobacco Prevention (ENSP) has been active in tobacco control since 1997 and for the last 19 years has been playing an important role in setting and influencing policies at a European and international level.Spearheading ENSP activities and projects are national representatives, organisations, academics, doctors, lawyers, health care professionals, experts and activists who always worked together to fulfil the objectives and mission of ENSP.ENSP is the only truly pan-European network active in tobacco control being the key grassroots organisation in implementing the World Health organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO-FCTC) at a European level.This was acknowledged by the WHO-FCTC -Conference of Parties during the session in Uruguay (November 2010) when ENSP received FCTC observer status.It is almost impossible to talk about FCTC in Europe without mentioning the involvement of at least one ENSP member.This united and collective effort is the essence, the heart and soul of the "Network" concept: each link makes the chain stronger; each node adds value to the structure.This added value is not only found in the strength of the partnership but also on a scientific level in everything ENSP does: its core activities, its EU projects but also its new scientific journal, "Tobacco Prevention & Cessation".Tobacco consumption remains the single largest avoidable cause of premature death in Europe, responsible for 700,000 deaths every year, and is the most significant cause of health inequalities.It is an interesting time for our work in tobacco control, as the world recognises that the most effective policies are those based on scientific studies and solid evidence.Therefore, this year the conference is dedicated to three main topics: reSearCh -Research and science represent the base for lobby and advocacy activities.On 5th April, a special session is dedicated to the European research and Public Health Projects dealing with different tobacco control topics.In all those projects, ENSP is acting as a knowledge and networking hub, being a real support for researchers and partners involved in the projects' implementation.PreveNTioN -Next year ENSP celebrates 20 years of activities dedicated mainly to prevent tobacco consumption in Europe.During the conference, a series of workshops, plenary and parallel sessions aim to highlight its accomplishments based on constant guidance resulting from WHO FCTC and MPOWER strategies.TreaTmeNT -Wednesday April 6th is fully dedicated to the WHO-FCTC Art.14's implementation in Europe and we bring together, in a special training session, more than 50 experts from Armenia, Georgia, Romania, Russia and Ukraine, partner countries under the EPACTT Project developed in partnership with Global Bridges -Healthcare Alliance for Tobacco Dependence Treatment.The above-mentioned topics demonstrate the diversity and complexity of our Network, which is dedicated to tobacco control in Europe.Furthermore, the International Society for the Prevention of Tobacco Induced Diseases has joined forces by sponsoring two symposiums on Thursday 7 April, reinforcing the importance of academic and scientific research in our work.Bringing together more than 170 experts from over 30 countries, this Conference is a new step ahead in accomplishing our two top priority objectives as stated in our Statute: • To have the WHO-Framework Convention on Tobacco Control implemented in Europe by 2020 • To reduce the prevalence of tobacco use in Europe to below 5% by 2040.During the conference, as you discover and meet special guests and speakers from the Academic and European Institutions, World Health Organization, national authorities and well known non-governmental organisations involved in tobacco control at regional, national and international level, we hope you have the chance to share your experiences and insights pertaining to various facets of tobacco control.On behalf of ENSP members and Secretariat, we are honoured to invite you to our Tobacco Control Conference in Brussels, the capital city of Belgium and Europe, and would like to thank you, as well as all the presenters, without whom this event would not be possible, for your work, your dedication and your loyalty.eNSP Board aNd SeCreTariaT Supported by Tobacco Prevention & Cessation Supported by aBSTraCT 1 Tobacco Products directive -new opportunities for eU tobacco control Anna-Eva Ampelas 1 1 DG SANTE Unit B2,
