"Mr President, sometimes it is great to be able to come into this Chamber and support a really positive European proposal and, despite Mr Titford’s attempt to deflate our good humour, today is such a day. This proposal ticks so many boxes. It promotes healthy eating habits among young children and adolescents. It enhances the overall health of young Europeans. It ensures that EU money is spent on a project that is already being shown to deliver positive results in many Member States, and it is a practical, down-to-earth, workable proposal.
I am very familiar with a similar programme in Ireland called ‘Food Dudes’ – because my grandson has kept me up to date. It has been shown that this programme is effective, with long-standing results across the age range 4-12 and these results stand up regardless of gender, school size and socioeconomic factors. Therefore, we are building on firm foundations.
I am happy to support increased Community funding and to give particular consideration to organic and locally produced fruit and vegetables. I want to congratulate the Commissioner and our rapporteur Mr Niels Busk, and I am very pleased to hear the response from the Council. This proposal will contribute positively to quality of life and health in the EU."@en1
