lpv:spoken text	"I welcome this report on rules of nominal quantities for pre-packaged products. I am in favour of retaining specific quantities for staple foods as I believe it is important to maintain nominal quantities in the interest of the British consumer. The report preserves essential parts of existing legislation and, in particular, removes the unjustified attempt by the Commission to abolish fixed sizes within 20 years. Given the complexity of ‘unit pricing’, such protection laws will ensure that the current sale of the British pint of milk is not put at risk. Contrary to inaccurate Eurosceptic scare-stories that have caused much controversy amongst consumers, British consumer choice is protected."@en¹
