lpv:translated text	"Madam President, first, I would like to commend this report because I truly believe that it is essential to protect children and elderly people from the risks posed by the market. In this context, I would like to focus on practical solutions that could be applied immediately. In schools throughout Europe, there are vending machines which sell sweet drinks and pastries. These vending machines are usually placed just outside canteens, and I can cite the European School in Brussels as an example of exactly such an arrangement. Perhaps we could adopt a regulation or directive that would remove such products from vending machines and replace them with fruit, for example, and this would certainly be of benefit to our children. I might also point out specific measures that we could take in relation to the certification of food, as it is necessary to make oversight more stringent and also perhaps improve those institutions that currently operate in each country and which do not always work very well. I could remind you of the dioxin affair in Germany when eggs, meat and meat products were poisoned. I could also mention the recent Polish affair where road salt, which was intended for spreading on roads, was repackaged and sold as edible salt and found its way into meat, canned fish and the like. Similar cases would therefore not arise if we had better and less shaky legislation."@en1
