lpv:translated text	". Long-term bad eating habits and a lack of sufficient exercise result in thousands of people in the European Union being faced with obesity every year. This increases the risk of numerous serious diseases, including heart diseases, higher blood pressure and respiratory disorders. Not only does this affect public health, it also increases the cost to health insurers in the Member States. I would therefore argue in favour of an integrated way of addressing the problem. Providing information, as well as educating, consumers, exchanging best practices among Member States, clear labelling on foodstuffs or campaigns in schools in order to promote healthier life styles: these are all ways of bringing about the necessary behavioural changes. The battle against the bulge transcends borders. We in Europe can make a positive contribution and learn from each other’s ways of addressing the problem. Cooperation with the Member States, industry, the media, education and civil society strikes me as being the right way."@en1
