lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this resolution relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption. This product sector represents a sufficiently important part of European Union industry. However, to take just one example – orange juice – it is worth noting that over 82% of the orange juice consumed in Europe is mainly produced in Brazil and the United States. In other words, less than 20% of the orange juice consumed in the EU is produced here. I agree with the rapporteur that it is therefore important to support the European sector, by bringing the directive into line with international law and the Codex and establishing the same rules for all products marketed within the territory of the Community. The aim, as stated in the recitals of the directive, is to contribute towards the free movement of these products. The European Union produces high-quality fruit juices, which contribute to a healthy and balanced diet. They are manufactured according to the sustainability standards supported by our laws. Therefore, from the point of view of businesses operating in the EU, the requirement that all products being marketed in the EU should be subject to the same standards of quality is fair. We also have to consider environmental aspects: local products do not have to be transported over vast distances, generating CO emissions. It should be underlined that this document is not about European protectionism, but the continued pursuit of sustainability in all sectors of our economy. The overall quality of a product can also be measured by its ethical quality, its ecological quality and quantitative aspects."@en1
