lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it would, to say the least, be naïve to maintain that the food industry is in a parlous state due to a lack of updated directives, given that what directives exist are blatantly disregarded. Before any legislative intervention or questions of a technical nature, we need to identify why not just food products but the entire food chain has been downgraded, distorted and adulterated. It is mainly because the food chain is managed solely on the basis of the laws of profit and speculation that the quality of food is so poor. The more intensively we farm, the more the food chain is run and controlled by the huge multinationals in the industry, which decide the method of production and the quality of our food, the less chance we have of any effective consumer health guarantees. This problem is first and foremost a political problem. Only by wiping out capitalist profit as the ultimate purpose of the production process will we be able to stop illegal and dangerous production, processing and marketing methods. Otherwise, we shall strain at a gnat and swallow a camel and public health will suffer as a result."@en1
