lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, it has already been pointed out that we introduced measures during the BSE crisis many years ago involving both mandatory and voluntary information that led to us winning back the confidence of consumers in beef. When it comes to the voluntary information, a system has developed – which has also led to competition in the marketplace – such that I would not like to do without this information. I therefore believe it would be a mistake for the Commission to remove this voluntary information. It goes without saying that we need to mention cutting red tape. The rapporteur put forward a proposal for how we can integrate this into the proposed food information regulation. Article 7 prohibits misleading statements and the like. I would like to ask the Commission whether it is possible for us to introduce monitoring via this food information regulation that could operate that precisely? Would it, instead, be better to leave this up to the Member States? This is an absolutely crucial point. The voluntary information must be retained; it represents an important part of the consumer system. When it comes to the marking of the animals, I would have liked to have seen a little bit more courage. If the conclusion is that the electronic system does not work, there is then no need to introduce it; it should be removed from the legislation straight away, and it should be left up to the technicians to see what they make of it then. However, having the two systems in parallel in the internal market is something that I view as way off the mark. Things cannot work like that. We need a system for trade and commerce and, in my view, that can only be an electronic system. If the farmers complain that they are punished in cross-compliance if an ear tag falls out, that is much worse. The electronic tags never fall out – they are inside the animals. They therefore provide much greater certainty."@en1
