"Mr President, I welcome the Commissioner’s proposal on school fruit. It is very important that we get this scheme going. I also agree with her that it needs subsidiarity, because what we want is a system that is not too bureaucratic so that we can actually get it into our schools. I also think we need flexibility on the type of fruit that we can provide, because some times of year it will be very difficult to get fresh fruit and we may occasionally need processed fruit. Let us not have too many prescriptive amendments but, rather, get this scheme accepted.
I also think that one or two of Parliament’s proposals on the amount of funding needed are too much. Because, if we had codecision powers in this Parliament, we would have to sign up to the budget as well as the process. If we are to be credible in this Parliament, let us put forward a scheme that is fundable, gives school fruit to the children who most need it and then they will progress to eating fruit in the future. This is a scheme.
Let me say to Mr Titford that I am not worried whether Europe provides it, whether Britain provides it, France provides it or whatever, but what we have to be sure of is that school fruit goes into our schools."@en1
