"Mr President, I am very disappointed at the delay, though I am delighted now that we are going to have clear compulsory labelling. I hope this will restore consumer confidence in beef, especially after the BSE crisis. I would like to see not only the country but also the region of origin on the label. I represent the West Midlands which has some of the best beef in the world – Herefordshire beef and Shropshire beef. I should like to see that go on the label. I would oppose very strongly the idea that "EU" should be on the label and not the country and region of origin. I am also concerned about some of the words that might go on the label. One of those words is "slaughtered". That will not help with consumer confidence and might put some of the consumers off if they actually see where the animal was "slaughtered". I wish we could find a new word for it. Generally speaking, I am delighted that at last we are going to have clear labelling and, as I said, I want it to be the country and region of origin."@en1
