"Mr President, Commissioner Verheugen, Mr Toubon, I wish to welcome the Commission’s proposal for deregulating packaging. I hope that continued debate will bring our own approach closer to that of the Commission, so that it is the consumer and not the politicians who choose.
The rapporteur, Mr Toubon, has shown that he is ready and willing to accept my amendment rescuing Swedish milk packs, so that people can still have milk for their coffee at work. There are still things to be done in terms of deregulating butter and pasta and of having less detailed regulation generally. It would be bad for competition and for consumers if we were to make matters worse for small and medium-sized enterprises and to use political measures to give market shares to the big conglomerates. Those of us who come from a small country cannot accept the report in that form. We have had enough of debates about cucumbers and strawberries. Let us avoid a debate about ‘milk-snatching’ and go on negotiating with a view to obtaining greater freedom for the consumer. A lot remains to be done before this matter has been satisfactorily concluded."@en1
