Regarding advertising directed at children, I heard Swedish Public Radio
yesterday on World Radio Network, and learned to my surprise that Sweden
actually bans television advertising directed at children. They
interviewed some advertising people who talked candidly about how they get
around it. One way around is with satellite transmissions from outside the
country, perfectly legal of course. Another is with personal appearances
etc. which might be deemed a healthier way to go anyway. The point was
that elements in Sweden are trying to extend the ban to the entire EU.

I wonder how WTO would treat this issue. It would be great to get the
playing field leveled around the globe, but it would have to be level in
terms of ecology and culture, not just economics.

Sorry if this is deemed off-topic for SANET-MG. It seems pretty hard to
separate stuff anymore.
