"The draft regulation under discussion today, on the provision of food information to consumers, is currently one of the most frequently discussed issues at Community level in the food sector. In my view, insofar as it could guarantee uniformity of rules at Union level, it could decisively help boost the competitiveness of European agri-food enterprises.
In particular, I feel that the compromise reached, resulting from the interinstitutional trialogues, meets both the requirement for accurate consumer information and protection of the key role played by the food industry in processing raw materials to produce ‘Made in Italy’ products, which are recognised and established across the world.
While I feel that a fair compromise has been reached in the regulation of allergenic substances by stipulating that these should be highlighted in the list of ingredients without the need to repeat them elsewhere on the label, I would express reservations about the option provided for Member States to introduce, at a national level, compulsory information that goes beyond the system of common rules.
In my view, there is still the risk of having to deal with 27 different systems of rules and of facing increased costs associated with the periodic updating of advice in each country and the revision of labels."@en1
