The use of the option right to its full extent (i.e. the introduction of a banand not only a further restriction of advertising the products covered by it) is supported in particular byconsiderations of public health and environmental protection, the right of women to accurate, unbiasedinformation needed to make an informed choice regarding the feeding of the child, the right of motherand child to breastfeed and Poland’s international obligations, as well as an analysis of the provisionson advertising products covered by the option right in terms of their sufficiency and effectiveness.
