lpv:translated text	"Azo-dyes are added to foodstuffs and drinks in order to alter the way they look. However, they represent a needless risk to citizens’ health. A study from Southampton University has shown that azo-dyes are dangerous to children’s health because they may cause hyperactivity and increase the risk of learning difficulties. I support the initiative of European manufacturers in Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom to gradually and voluntarily do away with the use of azo-dyes in food products. Consumer protection, in particular protection of children, who are the most vulnerable group, is a priority for the European Parliament. This is the reason why I welcome and voted in favour of the report by the rapporteur, Ms Åsa Westlund, which offers a new approach to the European policy for the protection of human health and prevention of illnesses, especially in children."@en1
