EU: Commission denies ad ban
Neil Kinnock, the EU Transport Commissioner, has no intention of banning car advertising at an EU level. Replying to widespread press suggestions to the contrary, Mr Kinnock said “I wish to reassure everybody, industry and consumers, that there are no plans to ban car advertising.” Confusion over EU plans to regulate car sales and advertising arose following an informal inquiry undertaken by the Commission at the request of the United Kingdom (during its Presidency of the Council in the first half of this year).
