"Mr President, I wish to put firmly on the record tonight that the farmers in Northern Ireland are exceedingly angry at the UK Government for not seeking European funding to help promote beef labelling. Other states have taken up this money to the tune of some £4m. – the Irish Republic to the tune of £100 000 – yet the disgraceful attitude of the London Government is to keep this from the UK farmers.
I want also to say that the place of origin mentioned in any labelling system should be the real place of origin, because any idea of stating where meat is processed as the place of origin is not acceptable. That is a very fundamental question that must be made perfectly clear in any law that we pass. Any food labelling policy must be accurate and dependable for both the producers and the consumers. Whatever may be the policy of this Union in regard to an open market economy, those people who want to buy home-produced meat should be given the right to know it is home-produced. Farmers deserve to have a guarantee of that, and so should the consumers."@en1
