lpv:translated text	"Although I approve of the compromise wording in relation to the directive on nutrition and health claims, which contains a number of improvements – in particular, Article 4 which requires a scientific analysis to be carried out before any health claim is made – I have nonetheless been anxious to vote against all the Amendments (90, 66, and 17) presenting genuine risks to public health. It would be dangerous for food products still to bear claims that, by not presenting the complete picture, could mislead consumers. Thus, it is unacceptable to highlight on a product the words ‘sugar-free’ when this same product might prove to have a high fat content. There is an ever-increasing incidence of obesity in Europe, affecting more and more children. It is vital to fight this scourge by not encouraging people to overeat and by no longer pulling the wool over the eyes of consumers. On the contrary, consumers should be directed towards balanced products."@en1
