lpv:translated text	"There are huge risks to health (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and certain types of cancer) from uncontrolled products and a lack of information, misinformation and misleading consumers. Nonetheless, the food industry spends approximately USD 10 billion a year to influence children’s eating habits. The modern consumer’s uncertainty as to the quality of food must stop. The amendments tabled by the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left were intended to help consumers know what they are eating, so that they can make the right choices. It is the responsibility of the European Parliament, as colegislator, to adopt legislation which does not mislead consumers and does not put their health at risk. I voted against the report, because the amendments adopted unfortunately proved that interdependent interests are stronger than consumer safety and the food industry, one of the biggest investors in advertising, has acquired control by intervening in production and consumption."@en1
