Markos Kyprianou was appointed to the
Barroso Commission as European Commissioner for Health & Consumer Protection; however, with the
accession of Bulgaria on 1 January 2007, the Consumer Protect portfolio was split off and given to
Meglena Kuneva (See: European Commissioner for Consumer Protection). The post's
Directorate-General is
still merged with that office. One policy is the promotion of
warnings on tobacco packets, with the Commission moving towards pictorial warnings. Following several
European Union member states enacting
bans on smoking in public places Kyprianou proposed a plan for an EU-wide ban of that kind. In May 2007, Kyprianou released a paper to tackle the shortage of
organ donation in the Union. The plan included promotion, specially trained medical staff and an EU wide organ donor card. After Kyprianou was appointed Foreign Minister of Cyprus, he was replaced by
Androulla Vasiliou on 3 March 2008. ==List of commissioners==
