NL: Stuurgroep Meets Consumer Group

The Stuurgroep met on 13 February the Dutch Consumers Organisation; this was the second such meeting on the issue of advertising and children. The meeting follows the 1995 decision by both organisations to revise those elements of the Dutch advertising code relating to children. Now the two organisations need to confer on only two further matters: an alteration of article 13.1 of the advertising code (concerning the comprehension of young people); and the use of the word ‘advertisement’ above advertisements in magazines aimed at young people and children.
