"Mr President, wanting to simplify European legislation is a very good thing. To put it simply, this must not be achieved to the detriment of food safety. This must not allow us to compromise on the demand for double safety, namely, nutrition safety and health safety, all the more so when we are talking about vulnerable population groups.
We are talking about infants. We are talking about people who need energy-restricted diets, such as diabetics. We are talking about people intolerant to gluten.
It is completely incomprehensible not to want to include within this framework people who are truly intolerant to gluten or those on energy-restricted diets. It is incomprehensible when we know that today one in every hundred people develops a gluten allergy. That is why we very much want to reintegrate gluten-free food into the legislation so that there is better consumer protection. Otherwise, repealing strict provisions would be truly harmful.
We are also expecting the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to make a statement on ‘growing foods’, such as ‘growing milk’ for children aged one to three, because we do not see why these children should not benefit from milk that is adapted to their needs, without pesticides or contaminants.
I would of course like to take this opportunity to congratulate Ms Ries, and I am sure that Parliament will succeed in defending the most vulnerable consumers."@en1
