lpv:translated text	"Mr President, naturally we too wish to congratulate our colleagues. Mr Lannoye has done an excellent job; indeed, he has achieved what the Commission failed to. The Commission only offers talk of the precautionary principle, whereas Mr Lannoye has shown in his report that it is also about implementing it in practice and actually making the precautionary principle a keynote. I also fail to see what the Commission promised, i.e. transparency. It is nothing less than consumer deception if we are giving the illusion of freshness which does not in reality exist. Commissioner, you must finally come clean as to why you are not envisaging that unpacked foodstuffs, in particular fruit and vegetables, should also be compulsorily labelled. I would also like to once again stress what Mr Lannoye has said. This report makes clear that we need a reform of additives. We cannot place hundreds of additives on the market simply because industry wants it. It has nothing to do with competition that we reject what the Commission is proposing. We actually need, as in Japan, a limited list of 70-100 additives and I would have liked to know what the Commissioner thinks of this. Industry will then have to decide the ones it wants. That would at least be an innovative viewpoint which makes competition the basis. Mr Lannoye is right that we must lay our cards on the table in this regard and do justice to the precautionary principle."@en1
