"Madam President, thanks to the instruments of the common agricultural policy, the agricultural market in the European Union is characterised by the supply of agricultural and food items of high quality. High standards, suitable food quality and sufficient supply are components of food security, something which is so important.
It is important that information on the quality of goods reaches the consumer. We know that every product allowed on to the market must meet minimum standards. Special quality which exceeds minimum standards must be detailed on the product to improve its competitiveness by drawing attention to its additional qualities, for which the consumer must pay.
Other important information which should also be on food products is the place of origin and processing of the raw product. Consumers must know what they are buying and for what they are paying. The absence of this information weakens the competitiveness of agricultural and food items produced and processed in Europe in comparison to imported goods produced without regard to animal welfare, environmental requirements or the social standards of employees."@en1
