"Mr President, I would also like to add my congratulations to Dr Sommer and the hard-working shadows. This seems to have been a long time coming. I have only been here since the last election, so it must seem an awfully long time to you.
I am delighted to be able to support this package and take the opportunity to welcome greater honesty and transparency on food labels. This dossier has really ignited consumer interest. We have all had hundreds and thousands of communications from our constituents and I would like to pay my tribute to organisations such as the Women’s Institute in the UK, who have also done their bit on the campaigning side. Of course nobody is ever 100% satisfied but we have a significant way forward in a number of areas. We have a clear forward on country-of-origin labelling. A lot of us argued for this and I think we have a good compromise here.
Nutritional data on pack is understandable, more useable, plus Member States are able to continue with their own discretional schemes, and all of this legible too. So I think this regulation will make a significant contribution to healthy eating in Europe and, as such, it is very welcome."@en1
