"Mr President, right at the start I wish to thank the rapporteur, Ms Ries, for her excellent work. We in the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy – and it was I who drafted its opinion here – readily agreed with its sound views and sound basis, and it is our opinion, and mine, that this is a very important piece of legislation, given that the previous legislation in many respects became obsolete.
It is important that we are careful in this area, especially because, when we talk about infant formulae and food for medical purposes, then obviously their packaging has to be very clearly labelled. Their presentation must also be clear and the wording must be comprehensible. It is also important that it does not contain any misleading claim, medical or otherwise, and that people actually know what they are getting as consumers.
I might say that, as I myself have become a grandfather and have therefore become familiar with these infant formulae in a very practical sense, it is obvious that clarity is required in this area, and that we have to step in when such misleading advertising exists: advertising must be clear and the information must be correct and reliable in all respects."@en1
