"The European Parliament has adopted a report on the labelling of food products. The text stipulates that labels will have to visibly state the energy value of the food product and the quantities of fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, protein and salt it contains.
If we consider the long, drawn-out procedure that led to this report and the legislative and political battles that have surrounded it, all this hype has not amounted to much.
The European Parliament has been subject to fierce lobbying at various stages of the vote on this text, in particular, around the issue of a green, amber and red traffic light system designed to quickly highlight which products have a high salt, sugar or fat content. This system was rejected by Parliament at first reading.
The adoption of this report today marks the culmination of this procedure, but it does not deserve to be called a victory. I abstained from the vote on this report, which could have gone much further in terms of information and protection for consumers."@en1
