lpv:translated text	"Although the compromise struck between Parliament and the Council is not perfect, it is one I can support. Compared to the original proposal, it is far less bureaucratic without prejudicing consumer protection. Consumers are given proper information without being patronised. Dutch terms such as or may continue to be used to describe cough sweets, since everyone appreciates that these sweets cannot always immediately make the cough disappear. Consumers must be able to rely on food and health claims being true and scientifically underpinned. Research has shown that 53% of consumers trust food claims. As we have rid the regulation of unnecessary bureaucracy without compromising consumer protection, the consumer can make an informed choice. At the same time, though, the bakery round the corner can continue to promote its high-fibre rolls without having to negotiate a long-drawn-out authorisation procedure first."@en1
