"I read with astonishment that the European Parliament agrees with the opinion incorporated by the Commission into the explanatory statement that people with diabetes should have the healthiest possible diet, and that there is no scientific basis for stipulating special food requirements for these people. As someone who knows at least a bit about the matter, I almost fell over after reading this. I think it is as absurd as the other statements concerning other diets which exclude specific types of substances from food that is suitable for people who have to follow these diets. In my view, the regulation therefore fails to meet the basic requirements which people with specific restrictions expect from such legislation. It is good that food for infants and young children is specified. It is also right that people who have a gluten-free diet are mentioned. I cannot accept, however, that other groups of people who have very strict limits on certain elements in food are left out of the regulation. I hope the Member States will make a suitable response."@en1
