lpv:translated text	". The common position is satisfactory with regard to the listing of the ingredients present in foodstuffs, with one exception. Where processing aids are concerned, it needs to be revised. The common position is, in effect, completely disproportionate in requiring all the substances used in the manufacturing process to be displayed on the labels. Especially where no traces of these substances are left in the finished product. This is the case of renowned beverages on which entire regions depend for their livelihood, such as beer and wine, which could thus be labelled as containing egg and fish derivatives. It is enough to ruin the reputation of high-quality beverages which have been consumed for centuries without any risk of harmful effects. The amendments tabled, which are along the same lines as those we tabled for the vote in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy, require these processing aids to be subject to specific scientific tests providing evidence of their allergenic effects. For the time being, nothing has been proven – it is all conjecture. We must therefore wait for the first results before making the labelling of processing aids mandatory. We are in favour of transparency to inform consumers of the ingredients in products, but we are opposed to over-labelling, which would be disastrous for the agrifood chains which are vital for France and many other countries."@en1
