"I voted in favour of this document because it insists on maintaining the dual denomination distinguishing pressed juices from those made from concentrate. Consumers find it hard to distinguish clearly between the different products covered by the directive. Considerable confusion exists, especially with regard to the difference between ‘juice’ and ‘nectar’. It is particularly important to clarify this difference concerning the presence or absence of sugar in these products because this is an issue of particular concern for consumer groups with specific needs (diabetics, children, people with weight problems, etc.). A single set of standards should be applied to all fruit juices and related products marketed in the EU, and particular attention should be drawn to harmless practices. It is important to support the European sector by bringing the directive into line with international law and the Codex Alimentarius and establishing the same rules for all products marketed within the territory of the Community. The new directive will give producers in third countries the opportunity to improve the quality of their products through more sustainable production processes. The existence of one set of rules for everyone will also serve to prevent fraud and unfair competition and help make clearer information available to consumers."@en1
