"I specifically wanted to ask the Commissioner about processed foods from third countries, particularly chicken fillets that arrive in one-tonne frozen blocks from South America, are defrosted in some EU country, perhaps breadcrumbs or batter are put on them and then they are sold as EU products. How can the Commission stand over that? You were telling us that labelling country of origin is no guarantee of safe food – you are right – and that it is another instrument to help consumers. But it also helps producers, because then consumers can compare like with like.
You said that in 2010, there will be a requirement to indicate where all prepared foods are being sold. Does this specifically mean in restaurants, where they are selling foods etc., that they must indicate the country of origin of animal products?
Finally, Commissioner, I just want to congratulate you on being exceptionally hard-working and innovative."@en1
