[Guest guest]

I have only recently become a r to this news group.

Please could you tell me what does ANH stand for?

It seem to be doing a good job.

 

Thank you

ANH OBTAINS REFERENCE TO EUROPEAN COURT OF JUSTICE ON FOOD

SUPPLEMENTS BAN

 

IAHF WEBMASTER: Breaking News, Whats New, All Countries, What to Do

 

IAHF LIST: Today in London I witnessed a historic victory over the Pharma

Cartel, and would like to thank those of you who so generously donated to

ANH's legal campaign.

 

We can now apply for interim relief to stop the directive, pending the

hearing we will now be getting in the European Court of Justice at a later,

as yet undetermined date.

 

ANH's attorney Conor Quigley QC delivered a flawless argument to which we

could see the Judge nodding his assent, which gave us all a real feeling of

hope going into the lunch break. The real hub of the case was the

recognition that the directive produced by the European Commission went much

further than it needed to to achieve what it set out to do, which was

harmonize products across Europe.

 

(In other words, the ban of around 5000 products containing vitamins and

minerals in the UK alone, could well be illegal- not to mention the blockade

on products being exported from the United States.) What ANH now will be

doing is proving in the EU Court of Justice that the Directive is invalid

because its illegally brought in the bans on the back of a harmonizing

directive.

 

The result if ANH wins at the next stage will be that any country in the EU

can continue using products that go beyond the restrictions imposed by the

positive list. So places like the UK, Holland, Sweden and Ireland can remain

safe havens for innovative products.

 

The fascinating thing is that people in Denmark, Germany, France, Spain and

Italy, all of which have highly restrictive regimes, are now getting behind

ANH because they value access to innovative products and nutritional

therapies.

 

We may have had a victory today, but this is the beginning of a long road,

and its going to be won by consumers around the world taking control of

these issues by getting behind such organizations as IAHF, ANH, Mayday, La

Leva di Archimede, National Health Federation, and others which are

untainted by Pharma Influence.

 

We still have some way to go to pay legal bills to date, so please continue

to give whatever you can to pay the best legal team in Europe which was

there for you today and are still owed fees. Donations can be made via

See press release below- I'll be in the UK for another few days, and will

provide additional information shortly, including photos which I'll be

uploading to the IAHF website.
