"I voted for this report as it is in favour of quality of life and ensuring freedom of choice and food safety for citizens, and I would congratulate my colleague, Mrs Sommer, on her report, which is the result of a long and intensive endeavour.
As I have been arguing, it is essential to ensure that citizens have free choice of food products, by guaranteeing safe and credible mechanisms for providing comprehensive information about products so that well-informed decisions can be made, and not least by providing specific information about the energy value and the amount of fat, saturates, carbohydrates, sugars, protein and salt, as well as a mandatory list of allergenic substances.
This regulation contributes to the better functioning of the internal market by simplifying legislation, reducing the administrative burden, guaranteeing legal certainty, and prioritising free choice and public interest with access to informative food labels, which are clear, comprehensible and legible. Good sense and rationality has prevailed to ensure balanced legislation and to take into account specific characteristics of the sector. I would stress the recognition of the specific nature of products from the handcrafted food sector, and of those produced directly at the place of sale and at retail sites."@en1
