lpv:translated text	"It is to be welcomed that the issue of food intended for infants and young children and food for special medical purposes has been considered in such detail by the European Parliament. Protecting children and sick people and ensuring their safety and welfare must remain the objective of our work. It is therefore unacceptable that the current EU legislation allows pesticide residues to be present in infant formulas and in foods for children under three years of age. Allowing children to consume toxic products, especially at such an early stage of development, can have irreversible harmful effects. Pesticides for which the highest acceptable residue levels were approved in the directives adopted in 2006 and which do not comply with safety criteria should be categorically withdrawn from the market and should not be used in the production of food covered by the regulation under discussion. As a matter of urgency, we should also apply the ban on the use of pesticides in foods of animal origin, such as milk, and introduce a requirement for stringent production checks, especially on food intended for young children. There is a further important issue concerning food for special medical purposes which has not been clarified in the proposed regulation, and which concerns the 32 million Europeans who suffer from diabetes. Unfortunately, the regulation does not provide an appropriate legal framework for foodstuffs intended for persons suffering from diabetes. This primarily involves introducing mandatory and EU-wide harmonised labelling of food products describing their composition in terms of the risk they pose to the health of persons suffering from diabetes."@en1
