"I voted in favour of this resolution because I believe that breast milk is the essential and most natural food for infants during weaning. However, not all mothers have this opportunity, whether for physical reasons or because they do not have the time required. In this case therefore they rely on formula, which certainly has considerable nutritive value, but not enough to be advertised in such a way as to give consumers the idea that formula can replace breast milk entirely. I think it is right, therefore, to ask for stricter and better-defined European rules on labelling of milk for children and of foods for people who need special diets, such as coeliacs, so as to protect consumers and provide clarity for the food industry. The non-medical quality of foods and the difference between foods for infants and follow-on foods must be made immediately obvious to consumers, who are often bombarded with ‘idealised’ images on packaging. I also agree that Member States should have the right to implement even stricter measures, if necessary."@en1
