"Mr President, I support the rapporteur on what I believe is quite a proportionate document that improves the current situation. It is also important to say that current EU legislation recognises that breastfeeding is best for infants and that from six months infants need a diversified and safe diet.
However, I voted against Amendment 86, which seeks to severely restrict advertising of infant formula and follow-on infant formula to specialist baby care magazines and/or scientific publications. This is going much too far. It restricts consumer choice – not many consumers purchase specialist magazines or scientific publications. It would also ban television advertising, and this is neither proportionate nor reasonable. I agree there should be a clear distinction between infant formula and follow-on formula, but not a virtual ban on advertising. While Member States may decide to further restrict advertising, an EU-wide ban on advertising infant formula and follow-on formula, with the exception of the magazines I mentioned, is not proportionate."@en1
