lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we say that consumer power is important, and if we are serious about this we clearly must also give consumers the opportunity to use their power. We must ensure that they have adequate product information etc. to be able to make wise and informed choices. I would therefore like to thank our rapporteur, Mr Manders, in particular for his persistence and commitment to ensure that the report includes the consumer perspective. I would also like to thank the shadow rapporteurs, who have shown a great deal of commitment to increasing consumer power. As shadow rapporteur, I have tabled an amendment on behalf of the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left concerning origin labelling, mandatory labelling of animal products and ethical and environmental labelling. It has not all been included, but I am very pleased with the compromise that we now have and I would like to express my support for it. There is a lack of information when it comes to chemicals and various products used in textile manufacture. The Commission has promised to carry out a study of this, and I would simply like to emphasise how very important it is that we have such a study done in order to be able to protect public health and combat allergies, among other things, in which we have seen a significant increase. We need to be able to see, and, where present, substantiate the connections that exist. I am also pleased that parts of textile products of animal origin are also to be labelled, and I wanted to use my speaking time to say thank you to everyone for their excellent work to increase consumer power. Thank you."@en1
