lpv:translated text	"Consumers have a right to clear, comprehensible information about the food products they purchase and have a right to know in which country those goods were produced. Clearer rules on the labelling of pre-packaged food will help consumers who are trying to make the right decision and purchase healthy food. As it is estimated that 20% of Europe’s population will be classed as obese by the end of this year, it is clear that measures should be put in place to encourage balanced diets. However, a balance must be achieved between providing good, clear information and putting too much information on labels, which would confuse consumers. Food labelling should not place too much of a burden on the food sector, particularly on small and local producers. European consumers appreciate the high-quality food being produced by European farmers, and clear information about the country in which the goods were produced should be included on labels. This type of labelling of meat, poultry, vegetables and fruit is necessary to ensure that consumers are not being misled."@en1
