lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Dalli, ladies and gentlemen, we expect the highest standards from our foodstuffs. This is particularly the case in relation to the food we feed our babies and infants. Here we are concerned not just with the preservation of life and health, but also with growth and development. We should err on the side of caution here and avoid all apparent risks. Manufacturers have to stake their reputation on their products and every mistake is punished by the consumer through the market. It must be possible to measure every limit value. We have already put in place a strict European regulation in the area of plant protection, which came into force last summer. European regulations in relation to residues from plant protection products are based on detection limits and are several times lower than the levels that can actually cause harm. There is no test method in the world that can establish what products were used to treat a plant during its growth cycle if there is no residue in the crops themselves. The European Parliament has established the precautionary principle and has set down special protections for the sensitive groups, in particular infants and small children. This is something upon which we can build. We struggled in committee to come up with the right wording. I hope that we will also live up to our responsibilities in the plenary sitting. I would like particularly to thank the rapporteur, Ms Ries, and our shadow rapporteur, Ms de Lange, for their excellent work. We also need to accept that children over the age of one can enjoy a healthy and sufficient diet by sharing in the food at the family table. That is something we should also once again acknowledge as important."@en1
