Endre Morava would like to bring to the next conference politicians both from countries where effective anti-tobacco measures exist and from where they don't. Endre Morava considers it important that the Helsinki meeting does not remain an isolated event. To have real significance it should be followed by the second conference, the third and so on. That would make it a process with a positive and definite role in anti-tobacco work at the European level. The traditional conference structure is sometimes criticized for being too heavy for dealing with a wide variety of issues, but Morava thinks it would be difficult find other ways to obtain the same advantages.
Nothing can replace personal discussions in exchanging experiences.
If you only follow the literature you miss a lot of the everyday practical experiences of others. Another reason is encouragement. Anti-tobacco work can be very frustrating and there are so many failures that you need to hear about successes and you need the support of your colleagues to be able to continue. The third important factor is planning. Because our problems are interrelated, our plans should be too.
