"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Directive 2009/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 on foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses establishes general provisions regarding the composition and manufacture of said foods. This directive’s provisions mostly date back to 1977 and no longer meet the needs of today's consumers. Therefore an in-depth revision of the directive was needed and for this reason I voted in favour of Ms Ries’s proposal. I would still argue that it is absolutely necessary to protect consumers more, simplify regulations and tackle the difficulties that Member States and operators encounter in interpreting the various existing pieces of food legislation. This would mean similar products could be treated in the same way throughout the Union, creating a level playing field for all internal market operators and in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises and end-consumers."@en1
