"Mr President, I should like to start my speech by congratulating all those who have made it possible to reach an agreement.
It is a report that we should all welcome because it affects the day-to-day lives of all members of the public, but, in the constructive spirit characteristic of me, I should like to point out a few things.
To begin with, I should like to draw attention to the importance of providing consumers with information that is precise and relevant, but above all comprehensible and uniform, regarding the components of textile products: exhaustive information is useless if the public is then unable to decipher it. We have achieved a step forward that is necessary but not enough: we must make further progress and protect the most vulnerable members of the public.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is essential to establish a European size labelling system based on body measurements, because the first thing we look for when we go to buy clothes is the size. We must therefore be much more ambitious and seek the harmonisation of sizes."@en1
