lpv:translated text	"Mr President, 25 years’ discussion of the great existential issues surrounding chocolate and what it is and is not makes the European Union as an institution look slightly ridiculous. The present debate has perhaps given me, as a war child, a certain insight into how things were when the peoples of Europe were killing each other for values symbolised by rather more important things than chocolate. After all, this is not a product which is a threat to people’s health. Neither Scandinavian, Belgian nor British chocolate is dangerous. It is not a product which affects the environment to any great degree. The whole issue is therefore somewhat ridiculous. As for the developing countries, I want to say that, if Britons, Scandinavians and others are not allowed to eat the chocolate they ate as children, they would certainly eat marshmallows or jelly babies instead on a Saturday evening. Where is the benefit in that for the Third World?"@en1
