". – I agree with the honourable Member that it is important to raise consumer awareness. The Commission is favourable to any initiative protecting the consumer. However, the Commission considers that the task of developing food quality and information to consumers on the results of official controls, surveillance and other monitoring activities in the food sector should be left to Member States.
Member States are responsible for carrying out the official control of foodstuffs at all stages of production and distribution. It is for them to decide how best to inform the consumer about these activities. This is in line with the principle of subsidiarity.
While the Commission is not aware of this particular initiative by the Danish authorities, it can encourage such steps or the voluntary implementation of such initiatives by other Member States, but it is unlikely to make a similar proposal at Community level. I stress that these points are made in relation to the outlets that you particularly refer to in your question."@en1
