lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I agree with my fellow Members that this is a positive proposal overall. I share their view that we should support the Commission’s objectives and that, taken as a whole, the rapporteur’s proposal is good. My group will therefore support it. Take the example of the proposal to establish a committee on herbal medicinal products. This committee would be independent, have the same power as the committee on conventional medicines and would come under the European Agency. Clearly, this is most certainly a good idea. It is in fact an excellent idea, which will, I believe, allow us to use high–quality herbal medicinal products in complete safety. Another significant and additional benefit is that we will have real experts in herbal medicine on this committee, which is clearly essential. The second positive element of the proposal is the amendment distinguishing between food supplements and medicines. We must ensure that we do not establish too strict a recognition system, as this could lead to some food supplements being classified as medicinal products when they have no medicinal effects. Finally, I would like to comment on the amendment proposed by Mr Davies. I believe that his amendment is sensible. I agree with him that we need to set a single period of traditional use for herbal products, regardless of their origin. I think it is somewhat arrogant to assume that third countries could not supply correct, high–quality information, enabling us to use these medicinal products without any risk."@en1
