".
It is important that the principle of subsidiarity is applied in the implementation of this scheme, so that the Member States themselves decide the age of the children that the School Fresh Fruit Scheme is aimed at and which fruit and vegetables should be supplied. I also think that priority should be given to products of Community origin. However, we should not refuse products originating from outside the Community, as this would violate competition and World Trade Organization rules.
I think that the administration of this scheme should be as simple as possible, thus I propose that the rules on strategy preparation be dropped. Preparing a national strategy for the implementation of one measure and with a small budget is too strict a requirement. Instead of strategy preparation there could be the requirement to prepare national administration rules, incorporating certain provisions set out in the strategy implementation rules presented by the Commission. I would like to urge everyone to think about the need for strategy organisation when preparing the scheme implementation rules (this point is important for Lithuania because of the administration).
The implementation of the School Fresh Fruit Scheme should involve additional funds from national budgets, as the scheme should be partly funded by the Member States. However, even in the midst of the current financial crisis, we must look to the long-term prospects of protecting the health of our children and young people. Let us not cast off the weight of responsibility from our shoulders."@en1
