lpv:translated text	"With regard to this programme, I have voted against the proposal to ‘develop a specific action to promote, by means of public awareness/information campaigns, an improved diet and eating habits which are better suited to the needs of the human body’ at European level. The European Union must concentrate on its main tasks – promoting peace and democracy, human rights, free trade and initiatives for improving the environment. This is the only way for our cooperative venture to win public support and understanding and gain legitimacy among our citizens. Otherwise, the EU project will still principally be seen as centralising decision-making among only a few people. This weekend will see discussions on the outline of future EU legislation/new instruments or treaties at the European Council at the Royal Palace of Laeken in Brussels. Here, it is more important than ever for the European Parliament to show the political maturity and discipline required not to demand new policy measures at European level, but instead to rally around the central joint undertakings. It is vital that the principle of subsidiarity, as set out in the Treaties of Maastricht and Amsterdam, is actually applied. A body wholly independent of the EU institutions, the European Court of Justice, should be given the authority to monitor adherence to and respect for the principle of subsidiarity, in order to ensure that more powers are not transferred to European level. This certainly does not include the centralised implementation of a uniform Europe-wide campaign for ‘an improved diet and eating habits’ involving all the various cultures, eating habits and tastes that characterise the 370 million citizens of the EU Member States. Let taste, culture and lifestyle remain different for Greeks, Spaniards, Swedes, British and Germans. Such diversity is a great asset."@en1
