In a decision last September, The Hague became the first city in the world to write into law a ban on ads that promote fossil fuels, including petrol cars, air travel and cruise ships. It has been effective since 1 January, but ANVR &#8211; the Dutch trade association for travel agencies &#8211; and travel company TUI filed lawsuits against the ban, seeking to overturn it.\u202fThe district court of The Hague ruled in favour of the city on Friday 25 April &#8211; the first time that a court has vetted a municipal ad ban in this way.<\/p>\n<p>During preliminary relief proceedings, the judge rejected all objections to the ban. ANVR and TUI argued that it goes against the right to free speech and freedom of entrepreneurship. They also took issue with the claim that the ban would reduce emissions, and said the municipality is not qualified to implement it.<\/p>\n<p>But the court found the reasons for the ban to be sufficiently substantiated, and that it can contribute to countering the effects of climate change, and improving people\u2019s health in the city. \u201cAfter all, the general health interests of citizens are only counterbalanced by the commercial interests of the advertisers. It should therefore come as no surprise that this weighing of interests has turned out to be to the disadvantage of the advertisers,\u201d the ruling states.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/04\/28\/landmark-ruling-should-encourage-more-cities-to-ban-fossil-fuel-ads-campaigners-urge\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-703\/\">Landmark ruling should encourage more cities to ban fossil fuel ads, campaigners urge<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[677,575,702,1711],"class_list":["post-139317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ban","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fossil-fuel","tag-ruling"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139317\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
