lpv:translated text	"The aim of the regulation adopted by Parliament today is to give consumers more and better information about food, in order to allow them to make informed purchasing decisions. The new regulation also brings benefits in the form of more legal certainty, less red tape and better law making for the European food industry and, in particular, for the small and medium-sized enterprises which are responsible for 80% of food production and processing in the EU. I congratulate the rapporteur on her successful opposition to the misleading traffic-light labelling system. This type of labelling would have resulted in a whole range of foods, such as olive oil and some dairy products, being condemned, and so-called ‘light’ drinks containing the sweetener Aspartame being given the green light. Information about allergenic substances must be provided for fresh, non-prepacked foods, such as bakery products or meat. However, these foods do not need the nutrient information which can only be obtained by means of costly analyses and which was required in the original Commission proposal. I have voted in favour of the report because politics is the art of the achievable, despite the fact that the Commission report requires nutrition labelling for alcoholic drinks to be provided in three years’ time and not, as originally planned, in five."@en1
