lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I should like to express thanks to Mrs Scheele and Mrs Poli Bortone for their contributions towards both agreements at the draft stage. With regard to the report on additives, I regret that due to that agreement, it is no longer possible here in the plenary to thrash out the usefulness of, and need for, certain additives. While the usefulness of a number of substances has been proven beyond any doubt, I still have my doubts as regards fluoride being added, for example. That is also one of the reasons why some of my group will not be backing this agreement. As for the food and health claims, I should like to say that I will back the result that has been achieved during negotiations. Amendments tabled by this House at first reading have already improved many of the points in the common position. I would refer to the opportunities which companies have to submit applications in their own Member States, as well as to a reduction in the timeframes. I should like to ask Commissioner Kyprianou when the Commission thinks the food profiles will be ready and what role it thinks Parliament could play in formulating them. Finally, I should like to add that I fully endorse the agreement on food claims and hope that this can be fleshed out properly in the Member States, so that consumers can enjoy effective protection."@en1
