"Food safety is one of the European public’s concerns and we have to ensure it. Consumer information should be clear, objective and the result of a simple, unbureaucratic process. Voluntary labelling of beef is clearly important, since it prevents the profusion of erroneous consumer information on issues like breed, husbandry and the processing of the meat; consumer information regulations should respond to this. Beef is an extremely sensitive product as regards the EU market, very vulnerable to pressure from third countries with fewer animal welfare and husbandry requirements. I think the labelling system should be improved, but with concrete rules and a clear system of checks that is the same for all Member States, whilst retaining the idea of an EU system that prevents various activities that promote distortions of competition. In other words, it should be obligatory for all Member States, as is the case for poultry and eggs."@en1
