New shape for the EU Platform?
The EU Platform for Diet, Physical Activity and Health is facing a challenging time with several public health NGOs having decided to leave the European Commission-led activity. The platform was established in 2005 and EuropeActive is presenting the Physical Activity sector as an observer since 2006.
The Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety set up the platform to help EU governments via voluntary schemes to improve physical activity inequalities and healthy nutrition to tackle rising obesity rates and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) across the bloc.
