"I do not agree with the adopted proposal that food labelling should not include images of infants or other images or text that may idealise the use of the product. This amounts to pointless bureaucratic interference, which makes life difficult for producers and is completely unnecessary. It is based on the assumption that the consumer is stupid, susceptible to manipulation and incapable independent and responsible decision-making. In my opinion, this assumption is wrong. The average consumer does not make purchases only on the basis of the image on the product, but seeks further information. In my view, rather than prohibiting this or that image on food packaging, we should focus instead on the ingredients and ensure that they do not contain any undesirable chemical substances. This is an area in which legislative intervention at EU level really is necessary."@en1
