"I voted in favour of this report because I consider it essential that European consumers have packaging with the necessary information for them to make an informed choice. Therefore, I am glad that the rapporteur has found a compromise so that indications will be more legible and more detailed, products which can cause allergies will be mentioned on packaging in order to protect people suffering from allergies, and imitations will be identified as such (because it is, for example, unacceptable to deceive consumers by selling them cheese made from vegetable fat instead of milk), and so forth. Finally, I am very pleased that from now on, it will be obligatory to declare the country of origin for pork, sheep, goat and poultry meat on the packaging. Including this information will make consumers better informed and provide more effective protection against potential contamination. Furthermore, I am keen to reassure you: my political group has defeated the socialists’ ludicrous idea that all our products should be categorised according to their theoretical danger and bear a red, orange or green traffic light on the packaging. Thus, you can count on us to inform and empower consumers."@en1
