".
Mr President, this proposal will fulfil the objectives of the Union in relation to the common agricultural policy (CAP) and will provide a funding framework for initiatives aimed at increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables eaten by children. This could help to combat childhood obesity and will also benefit our fruit and vegetable farmers in the long term.
Eating habits and patterns are developed during the first few years of life. As such, it is important that we are able to encourage healthier eating habits among children. The Member States should be able to choose the best method.
Research suggests that eating patterns tend to be unhealthiest in low-income households. Therefore, the distribution of free fruit and vegetables in schools could make a large difference to children’s eating habits.
I welcome Mr Niels Busk’s report and thank him and the Commissioner for the work they have done."@en1
