"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first, I would like to applaud the work of the rapporteur.
It is essential that European consumers should have the necessary information on the packaging of the products they consume to enable them to make an informed choice – all the information they want and not just any old information. I am therefore pleased that a compromise has been struck. Mr Nuttall has left; I do not agree at all with his analysis. I think we should welcome the compromise reached. Labels will be more legible and information on allergens will be accessible to the public affected by these allergies. Imitations will be identified as such, because it is, for example, unacceptable to mislead consumers by selling them cheese made from vegetable fat instead of milk.
Finally, I am very pleased that it is now a requirement that the country of origin of individual pieces of pork, lamb, goat and poultry be indicated on the packaging. Such labelling will enable consumers to be better informed and will make it possible to fight more effectively in the event of contamination.
Nonetheless, I should like us to think also of all the companies that must systematically adapt to the new regulations. That demands investment and time on their part. I hope that we will now be able to allow them to implement all these regulations and to take the time to do so without constantly making changes."@en1
