"Madam President, I have supported this report because it is going to improve the quality of food products while also contributing to informed and responsible consumption.
European consumers will know where the food that we eat comes from, which is especially important for meat and even more so for fish. Moreover, an obligation existed to provide information about the nutritional properties of foods.
The price of foodstuffs is not the only important thing at the time of purchase. Spending available funds wisely involves buying foods that have been grown, reared or fished in a sustainable manner, and in accordance with known standards, and being aware that spending a bit more on foods that contain less saturated fat, are low in salt, or contain moderate levels of sugar, contributes to our health.
Accordingly, in order to tie up any loose ends relating to this regulation, we need to investigate in-depth the training that consumers need in order to make the most of all the information that is going to be available to them.
Finally, I regret the somewhat insensitive approach in the report in relation to linguistic diversity. Basque, Catalan, Galician and other languages also exist and are official in the shops in which these new labels are going to be read."@en1
