"Mr President, I would like to thank Ms Ries for her outstanding work. It is highly positive that there is now, in sometimes confusing situations, to be an improvement in order to protect – or better protect – vulnerable groups. It is also positive that more attention is being given to small and medium-sized enterprises in the food industry. I would also like to point out, however, that information on the labels alone is not a catch-all cure. In the past, people were a lot more involved with food, and in those days children were also much more informed about what was good for them.
I would actually like to ask the Commission to focus more on food education in schools and also on providing children with food education in other ways. Nowadays, children often no longer know how food originates, what is good for them and what is healthy. I believe that we must get the industry involved on a voluntary basis so that it not only makes commercials to extol its products, but it also plays a part in educating children in order to make it clear what is healthy for them, as that is better for everyone in the long term. I know that the Commission is passionate about this and I hope that initiatives will be forthcoming very quickly that will ultimately result in a healthier society."@en1
