"The adoption of the report on the new strategy for protecting consumers is good news. The European Parliament supports the European Commission’s ambitious guidelines. These guidelines aim to greatly facilitate consumer choice by promoting ever more information on products (clearer labelling, information that is transparent and comparable on prices and so on, for instance) and lays particular emphasis on food safety (information on levels of pesticides, chemical products, etc.). Other priorities include reducing the inequalities between consumers, a low carbon economy and protecting children from advertising within the context of fighting obesity. Citizens are entitled to demand exhaustive information so that they can make informed choices about what they consume. Globalisation, growing ecological awareness and technological progress have considerably altered consumption habits. As a result, it was important to reform the priorities of the Community strategy for protecting consumers. This report strives to define a better, more coherent legal framework, for a safe and transparent environment that takes into account the concerns of Europeans."@en1
