"I voted for this resolution because I realise that it is vital for consumers to have good information, especially when it comes to food products. Through the relevant labelling provisions, the new regulations provide greater clarity and transparency about the content of fruit juices.
I am thinking, in particular, about the rules on the listing of ingredients, the sugar content and the quantity of different fruits in each product. Clear information on this subject makes an important contribution to consumer health. It will be helpful to some groups of people who suffer from specific disorders, such as diabetes. At the same time, it can also prove to be important for promoting a healthy diet, thereby helping reduce the risks of obesity, for instance. I should stress that these aspects are especially necessary for children who form a large group of fruit juice consumers. Last but not least, I welcome the provisions aimed at mentioning the origin of the juices’ main ingredients. I appreciate that they can help promote fruit originating in the EU, thereby providing support to European farmers."@en1
