"I am convinced that this recommendation will help boost the competitiveness of agri-food enterprises, insofar as it will guarantee total uniformity of rules.
In this regard, I regret that the text has provided the option for Member States to introduce, at national level, mandatory information that goes beyond the system of common rules. However, the compromise appears to satisfy both consumers’ information requirements and the safeguarding of the important role the food industry plays in processing raw materials for the benefit of the ‘made in’ concept.
With regard to nutritional labelling, I welcome the measure to state on the front label the guideline daily amount (GDA) as a percentage, including with regard to the portion of the food. I believe that clear information for citizens in terms of recommended daily intakes can prevent and considerably reduce the pressing problem of obesity, as well as help consumers to make more informed and healthy choices in buying food.
In the same way, I support the mandatory criterion for a certain font size for the sake of a clearly legible label. Lastly, I believe it is positive that the choice has been made to proceed with caution in introducing the mandatory indication of trans fatty acids, which can be found in food not just after a production process but can also be naturally present."@en1
