lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am Belgian and I am not opposed to the common position. If the chocolate which I love so much were to be at risk or if the tradition of Belgian chocolate manufacturers were to be in danger, then I would, of course, be opposed to it. I bought some chocolate here in Strasbourg this morning and the French sales assistant explained to me quite clearly what exactly I was buying. The designation on the front of the product states: and in gold lettering, which, in France, is quite something . So I know what I bought. In my opinion, the pending directive will make it even easier for producers of quality chocolate to set themselves clearly apart from the others if they so wish. I do concur with the rapporteur on one point. The producers of cocoa beans, namely the small farmers in the poor third-world countries, are vulnerable. We need to keep a close eye on them and this is why I am in favour of a study being carried out by the Commission on the effects of the directive, no more than two years after the introduction of this directive. So let us now deal with this matter once and for all and ensure that everyone can eat the chocolate they fancy and that a real internal market can be established for chocolate."@en1
