"Mr President, I voted in favour of this report, which deals with the issue of food fraud. After the shocking case of the horsemeat scandal, it became clear that, with rising food prices and the lack of resources for food safety inspectors, it has become all too temptingly profitable for fraudsters to engage in exploitation. Action needs to be taken so that this criminal minority do not tarnish the excellent reputation of the majority of food producers.
Traceability is key. Supermarkets should be able to stand by the source and quality of their food instead of focusing on downward pressure on prices. Consumers should be able to trust labels. Furthermore, in line with the Good Friday agreement, producers in the North of Ireland should be allowed to continue to label their produce as Irish if they so wish."@en1
