"The fruit juice sector is a branch of industry which, globally speaking, should not be underestimated. Within the European Union, too, this sector of industry can be considered to be significant in size. However, it is also the case that, with regard to the production of fruit juices, particularly the popular orange juice, 80% of what is consumed in the EU is imported from North America and Brazil. The production process also differs, since in these countries, all fruits are used in juice processing, whereas throughout the EU, only substandard goods that are no longer of use to the trade are used. For consumers, this means that the origin of the juice needs to be indicated particularly clearly in order to be able to inform them, in an unambiguous manner, of where the product has come from.
In general, labelling of the ingredients of the juice is important, particularly where flavourings and the addition of sugar are concerned. Consumers are also frequently confused by the designations ‘juice’ and ‘nectar’. I voted in favour of the report, as I agree with the rapporteur that clear labelling is essential for the good of consumers."@en1
