Another major event of relevance for health journalists is the one day seminar that EMMA is organizing in collaboration of Directorate General for Health and Consumer Protection (DG SANCO) on 5 December 2012 in Brussels. This event will bring together journalists and DG SANCO experts who will debate on topics such as healthy ageing and prevention (alcohol, food, tobacco). A lunch will be held with Commissioner Dalli, followed by a panel debate on health and consumers protection chaired by Director General of DG SANCO Mrs Paola Testori.

More details will come in due time but for now we invite you to save the date and forward the information about this event to your journalists.
