".
We have chosen to vote against Amendments 14-19. This is a second reading decision. The Member States in the Council of Ministers opposed both labelling and a ban on azo dyes, but were finally forced to accept a compromise on labelling. This is a major victory which we do not want to jeopardise by voting for populist amendments which do not offer any prospect of a real improvement.
We Swedish Social Democrats have pressed for a ban on azo dyes and will continue to do so, but we have no intention of going along with populist initiatives or a populist vote by which we may end up endangering children’s health unnecessarily."@en1
