"Today’s debate on novel foods is very important from the point of view of protecting the health and life of consumers throughout the European Union. For it is extremely important that both Parliament and the Commission create mechanisms whose fundamental purpose will be to prevent the adverse effects which might be caused by putting new products on the market about which we still do not have, today, full knowledge as to what effect their consumption may have on the body. All citizens of the Union are entitled to the necessary protection and security in this area. They must have complete confidence that food available on the market does not contain ingredients which are new, unidentified and perhaps harmful to health. Therefore, we cannot allow the sale of food products made using technologies which have not been used or tested before. I am certain that on the matter of introducing new food to the market, strict precedence must be given, above all else, to protecting the health and life of consumers. Only if this is guaranteed can new products be authorised for sale in the EU."@en1
