"This proposal for informing consumers on food products is one of the most important issues relating to the food sector currently being debated at EU level. I believe the guarantee of uniform standards at Union level could contribute decisively to making agro-food companies more competitive. I also believe the agreements reached satisfy the needs both in relation to providing consumers with adequate information and in relation to safeguarding the fundamental role played by foodstuffs. I would stress the compromises reached on the regulation of allergenic substances through the provision of a list of ingredients without the need for repetition on other parts of the label. I also consider it essential to guarantee consumers the information they need in order to know exactly what types of food they are consuming, and to make a conscious and informed choice. The compromise reached with the Council has achieved an adequate balance of the interests of food producers and consumers, whilst safeguarding public health, and all the Member States support it. I voted in favour because I believe this report represents a victory for consumers."@en1
