lpv:translated text	"I have voted against the report. In my view, there is no legal basis insofar as the EU is not entitled to legislate within the area of public health. It is national legislation that should deal with issues of food supplements, not the European Union. Nor has the EU taken any initiatives to regulate legislation within areas in which very serious abuse takes place, for example those of alcohol and drugs. The fact that an attempt is now being made to do so within the field of health foods – something that would have consequences for people’s self-medication by means of vitamin supplements – raises a number of fundamental issues. In whose interests is this to be done? Why should it be done specifically within this area? How would it affect the individual citizen? Which manufacturers would suffer, and which benefit? These questions demand answers, and no satisfactory answers have been given."@en1
