".
As a fledgling MEP, my very first phone call to the Commission was about a proposal in preparation of a European law on health and food claims. This was 14 years ago now. Even then, it was realised that legislative action was needed at Community level, and so an agreement about a specific legal text so many years down the line is not a day too soon.
The result is one to be proud of, for it strikes the right balance between, on the one hand, the consumer’s interest and right to health protection and information and, on the other, the requirement not to place an excessive burden on industry.
Both the solution with regard to food profiles and the notification procedure prove that we achieved this in an adult manner.
Consequently, this result receives my unqualified support."@en1
