Directive 2001/113/EC harmonises the labelling of fruit jams, jellies, marmalades and sweetened chestnut purée intended for human consumption. Each product is separately defined with separately specified contents.
The aim of the proposal is to amend the German version of the Directive – given that, in certain parts of Austria, the term
traditionally covers a wider meaning than that so far used in the Directive – to include both this correction and other potential semantic misunderstandings.
I feel that, while this proposal redresses a highly specific anomaly, it also comprises two wider values that should be matters of priority for the European agenda, namely, respect for traditions and customs, and multilingualism. Without this objective, I feel that Europe would become ‘funnelled’, a victim of the gravitational movement towards a centre that is divorced from local realities.
For the sake of clarity, I voted in favour."@en1
