"In favour. There are many key points in the report by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety. It supports the Commission approach of abolishing the concept of ‘dietetic foods’, but reintroduces the category of foods for use in low-calorie diets and invites the Commission to assess the need for a specific ‘sports food’ category. It asks the Commission to produce a report assessing the need for special provisions on so-called ‘children’s milks’ and strengthens rules on labelling and advertising. It calls for post-market monitoring and requires delegated acts for updating the list of permitted substances. It provides for special requirements for nanomaterials and more or less maintains current ‘gluten-free’ rules while inviting the Commission to present a report on ‘lactose-free’. It stipulates that the use of pesticides should be ‘restricted as far as possible’ and asks the Commission to update regularly the lists on limitations of certain pesticides, paying particular attention to the very dangerous substances. As the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, we agree with the general approach to abolishing the concept of dietetic foods and are opposed to the (re-)introduction of more categories. We have fought for stricter rules on pesticide use, for a ban on advertising/labelling milks as ‘children’s’ (or ‘growing-up’) milks, for specific rules on the use of nanomaterials, and for stricter labelling/advertising rules. We would prefer to have ‘gluten-free’ regulated under the general regulation on food information to consumers."@en1
