"I welcome the adoption by a very large majority of the report on the provision of food information to consumers. By adopting this report, we are once again expressing the will of the European Parliament, and of the Member States meeting in the European Council, to take concrete steps towards improving information for citizens on the day-to-day subjects that concern them. The aim of this report is to simplify and clarify the existing rules on food labelling in the European Union, but also to extend the rules to other categories of food: fresh pork, poultry, lamb, goat meat, and so on. It will now be compulsory to state not only the use-by date but also the nutritional and energy values of the foods we buy, which is a major step forward. In addition, information on allergens will have to be shown on packaging, and measures to combat misleading information will be tightened up. With the adoption of this recommendation and the regulation that will follow, we are encouraging the most transparent information possible for consumers, which will allow them to make informed choices."@en1
