Sugar tax
Lobby the EU to tax all children's sweets and drinks with tax depending on the amount of sugar in the product.
Why is this important?
David Cameron has refused to bring in a tax in the UK in fact he has refused to listen to the independent research which proposed a sugar tax. Childhood obesity has become a major problem and will get worse in the future if we do not take steps to to reduce the sugar intake of children. Our government is in the pockets of the food manufacturers -only the EU can implement the tax over his head. Our children's health matters please lobby your MEP to raise this issue in the European Union.
