"Mr President, each time there is a compromise that allows us to move forward we must be pleased. However, I do not believe that the compromise we have reached will make us die from an attack of happiness either. We must be careful about the raptures of happiness we are experiencing. It is true that we have moved forward, especially with regard to food labelling and with regard to safety in terms of the clarity of the message. However, we have come up short on trans fats, for example, in terms of the obligation to label them. I want to ask the Commission not to allow the time limits to run out. In a well-supplied continent such as this, with problems of over-eating, cardiac issues and obesity, we must speed up and consider as soon as possible a prohibition on trans fats being added to food, as Denmark and Australia have done and as Spain is doing. This must be done without delay and without waiting any longer. The compromises are going to depend on the urgency with which we apply ourselves, the clarity with which we conduct ourselves and how ambitious we are. We cannot remain in a haze of happiness at what we have done. It is good but it is nothing to jump up and down about. We must make more progress and be more precise, above all, in the areas that I have mentioned."@en1
