Griffiths, J., Vladu, C., & George, E. (2013). Special report on the EU Platform on Diet, Physical Activity and Health (reference period 2006-2012): monitoring the EU Platform on Diet, Physical Activity and Health. WHO DG SANCO.

This Special Report will provide the reader with an overview of the establishment, development, activities and achievements of the EU Platform on Diet, Physical Activity and Health. The report has been commissioned by DG SANCO with the aim of capturing the key learning points gained by the Platform thus far. The report is therefore necessarily backward looking, but wherever possible it will also look to the future highlighting potential further areas of development. The EU Platform on Diet, Physical Activity and Health (hereafter The Platform) is one of the tools for implementing the European Strategy on Nutrition, Overweight and Obesity-related Health issues. It is an action-oriented cooperative process aimed at helping to reverse the obesity trend. It consists of a forum of European-level umbrella organisations, ranging from the food industry to consumer protection NGOs, willing to commit to tackling current trends in diet and physical activity with concrete actions that are termed 'commitments'. The Platform has been in existence since 2005, and during that time its members have bought to action over 300 commitments.
