lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the report because the occurrence of excessive weight and obesity in the European Union has increased rapidly over the last two decades, with almost 22 million children overweight and this figure growing by up to 400 000 a year. More than 90% of childhood obesity cases are caused by poor eating habits and lack of exercise. These children suffer from serious nutritional disorders as well as joint disorders, lower immunity and an increased frequency of illnesses. Following the approval of the White Paper on ‘A Strategy for Europe on Nutrition, Overweight and Obesity-related health issues’, the present directive is good news for the fight against childhood obesity. I consider the scheme to increase the distribution of fruit and vegetables in European schools as necessary. We should also give more consideration to children in pre-school institutions. Counselling and creating good and balanced eating habits would contribute more to the development of a healthy population than this distribution scheme alone."@en1
