"Mr President, our supermarket shelves are stacked high with food claiming to cater for specific needs. There is specialised food and drink for infants and old people; there are products for those trying to lose weight as well as those trying to gain weight. Customers deserve a choice, but they also need to understand what they are buying and consuming.
This report calls for clearer and simpler rules for the labelling of so-called diet products. I hope that when Member States implement this legislation it will lead to a reduction rather than an increase in red tape. The new legislation should also facilitate – rather than prevent – small and medium-sized companies from accessing the market. Consumers need clear information and companies need simple rules to allow them to compete effectively. For these reasons, I support the report."@en1
