"Mr President, Mr Dalli, this regulation achieves a great deal of what we are looking for, namely greater security for producers, safety for consumers and a range of control options. The Food Labelling Regulation is a first step in improving freedom of choice in the food market. Yet, there is a whole group of consumers who, because of their medical needs, do not have the same freedom of choice in the market. We need crystal-clear rules for these people, whether cancer patients or those suffering from metabolic disorders, offering them absolute certainty.
As we have already heard several times today, however, we also need safety for the youngest members of our society, namely infants. The excessive pressure on parents from advertising can sometimes mean that they make decisions that may not be in the best interests of their babies. People should be free to choose between breastfeeding and formula. This decision must be based on facts, however, and should not be made solely on the basis of advertising pressure. I can only concur with Ms Willmott in relation to follow-on milk products."@en1
