Ireland has regulated for all packaged alcohol products to include a health warning that states that 'there is a link between alcohol and fatal cancers'. This warning is being opposed in the World Trade Organization by 12 member states who are raising that the warning is an unnecessary barrier to trade. The World Health Organization is supporting Ireland. Countries should not oppose Ireland's warning which is defensible from legal and public health perspectives.
爱尔兰已规定所有包装酒类产品都要包含一条健康警示，内容为“酒精与致命癌症之间存在关联”。世界贸易组织中有12个成员国对此警示表示反对，他们提出该警示是不必要的贸易壁垒。世界卫生组织支持爱尔兰。各国不应反对爱尔兰的警示，从法律和公共卫生角度来看，这一警示是站得住脚的。
