"This is all cock-eyed. In a Europe which claims to want to protect the consumer and which talks of quality and authenticity labels, here we have a common position from the Council which aims to change the nature of what has, up to now, been a quality product, namely chocolate, rather than upset the food multinationals. What is even more astonishing is that this same Europe produces mad cows, sheep with scrapie and chickens containing dioxin and imports hormone-treated beef and genetically modified cereals. Of course we should ‘inform’ consumers that the products they are buying are adulterated. Yet this is nonsensical when this information is written in small letters in an incomprehensible language on the back of the packaging. You are accustomed to doing anything you like in the name of your dogmas, free movement, free competition and free trade. Please stop messing about with our gastronomic traditions, our quality products and our soil. Stop playing with our food. Now that would be real progress. Understand this. I and my colleagues on the European right will vote for the ‘zero option’ which is no vegetable fats other than cocoa butter in chocolate."@en1
