"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we have before us a very sensitive report that has already caused controversy at first reading and which has an immediate impact on European consumers.
It does not take a Feuerbach, who said that man is what he eats, or the fundamentals of micro-economic theory, to be able to state with certainty that consumers have a right to access comprehensive and truthful information on what they buy.
However, the crux of the matter is really knowing which type of information needs to be included and how. In this respect, I believe that the rapporteur has done a truly excellent job in finding compromises with the Council. I believe that aiming for complete traceability of certain foods, such as meat, fish, oil and honey, is a great achievement and is also in line with the common agricultural policy. As an Italian, I hope that in future, traceability can also be extended to pasta, pizza and mozzarella. This is something that we want for ourselves and for all Europeans and consumers."@en1
