The Estonian Association of Advertising Agencies (Eesti Reklaamiagentuuride in Estonian) was formed in 1998 and 'brings together well-known and largest advertising agencies in Estonia. It is set up and funded by the advertising industry to apply code and rules regulating advertising content. The purpose of ERAL is to protect common interests and secure the rights of members of the association, regulation of professional ethics, and promotion of advertising-related activity.'[1] According to the Advertising Education Forum in the UK in 2005 the 'Estonian system of self-regulation is currently under development.'[1]

Policy Positions
According to a 2010 WHO report:[3]
- The Estonian Association of Advertising Agencies and the Estonian Consumer Protection Board have together prepared a guide explaining the meaning of aggressive advertising targeted at children.[4] Currently, no specific regulations in Estonia restrict the marketing of unhealthy foods to children. There are guidelines[5] from the Estonian Consumer Protection Board on, for example, the advertising and sale of “energy drinks” to children in order to ensure ethical and moral standards in this area. Nevertheless, campaigns targeting children are permitted, including campaigns where prizes are awarded if the food is consumed or by drawing lots. The national television channel is the only one where commercial advertising is not permitted.
