"Mr President, may I also thank Mr Scottà for the work in this important report.
I want to refer specifically to Amendment 4, which asks for the maximum amount of information to be made available to the consumer. It also supports the introduction of comprehensive and compulsory legislation for ‘place of farming’ labelling.
Whilst these are laudable aims, I believe the amendment is too restrictive and would perhaps be better as a voluntary piece of information.
In Northern Ireland, we rely heavily on the ability to export produce to the rest of the UK and other European countries. This amendment has the potential to affect Northern Ireland’s ability to sell products in certain markets where currently there is no difficulty, and I feel that it is important that new labelling does not create barriers which prevent trade between different Member States.
Whilst Amendment 4 poses some difficulty, I recognise the important work of the report and I recognise the importance of producing traceable, high quality and safe products."@en1
