"I voted in favour of this report, although I am still a little puzzled about certain aspects. I believe it is essential to simplify the labelling of food products to allow a better understanding of ingredients, methods of use and traceability by consumers. I do not, however, agree with the methods by which we should achieve this aim. Product buying awareness is not increased by indicating nutritional profiles, guidelines and the traffic light system. There are no scientific grounds for such methods and they cannot therefore be considered reliable. I am therefore pleased that the traffic light system has been thrown out but not so pleased by the adoption of the nutritional profiles and guidelines. Lastly, I approve the adoption of the amendment calling for the provenance of some food products to be specified. I am a firm believer in indicating product origin because I believe it is essential to inform consumers about the provenance of what they are buying. I hope that during second reading, it is possible to agree on a text that is more acceptable to everyone and which offers a better balance between the interests at stake: health on the one hand and the food industries on the other."@en1
