"Mr President, my group, the GUE/NGL Group, considers that the ‘made in’ origin marking of products which come from outside the EU is an urgent necessity for the European Union. In a largely globalised and deregulated world, it is absolutely necessary to enable consumers to know where a product comes from and what they are buying.
I think this is an area where citizens and consumers really understand what Europe is, and how Europe can contribute to international trade and the world outside. I agree with my colleagues that we should adopt the 2005 approach to origin marking. In our view, that is the very minimum that should be ensured for the European consumers and citizens. It could also favour the small and medium-sized industries of Europe.
We call on the Commission and on the Council to submit this quickly for consideration by the European Parliament. Among other things, it is a matter of a coherent approach to policy making, and I think that in this area, international trade can also contribute to international peace."@en1
