"The issue of food for people with special nutritional needs is a crucial area of EU legislation in order to ensure a safe and healthy food supply. The niche market of these foods has grown significantly over recent years, resulting in a lack of clarity when trying to distinguish between foodstuffs for normal consumption and foodstuffs intended for specific population groups. The Commission is therefore proposing to review the framework directive by abolishing the general rules on dietetic foods, but to maintain some of the rules for specific foods adopted under the directive. I agree that it would be best to confine the scope of this Regulation to a limited number of foods for particular nutritional uses. It is obvious that infants, children under three years of age and people for whom a special diet is vital clearly require special attention and uniform treatment within the EU. I therefore welcome the adoption of this report, for which I voted, as infants and children need to be well protected. However, it is also imperative to proceed with a proposal for a directive on so-called ‘growing milks’, as these were not included in this package."@en1
