"Commissioner
The School Fruit Scheme is a particularly important step in several respects, by:
providing a healthy and balanced diet for children;
preventing disease;
creating a new model and methodology in the diets of the younger generation which will gradually replace fast food.
This is not just a question of consuming fruit but of building healthy and balanced nutritional habits. There are plenty of specialists able to determine suitable fruits based on the relevant criteria.
On the other hand, the School Fruit Scheme will provide real support to agricultural producers and financial aid to the Member States. This is particularly important in the new Member States, which are having difficulty in the provision of catering at schools, despite all their efforts. In Bulgaria, for example, there is a state-subsidised scheme for school meals, but it is unable to cover the needs of all pupils, and help from the European Union will be extremely useful. Of course, we need to insist on the use of organic products in the scheme, and to ensure that it is effectively implemented."@en1
