lpv:translated text	"It is crucially important to improve the information available to customers about what they eat every day. Despite the difficulty of finding a compromise between the political groups in Parliament and with the Council, I still voted in favour of this report because it is a step in the right direction. By recommending clearer and more visible labelling, especially regarding the energy value, it will enable consumers to be better informed at first glance about the products they are buying. Furthermore, as more than 80% of the European food sector is comprised of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), these new rules will give SMEs better legal protection while reducing bureaucracy. Since the E. coli health crisis has once again put the spotlight on the importance of food safety in Europe, I felt it was crucial to vote in favour of this report in order to strengthen consumer protection. Nonetheless, I will pay close attention to the proper transposition of the law by Member States and businesses in the sector, in order that the new rules can be effective and beneficial for all European consumers."@en1
