"Every day brings media reports about the poor quality of the foodstuffs being placed on the consumer market. I would therefore like to applaud the work of the rapporteur. The registration and labelling of foodstuffs, statement of product composition, and so on, is only one
albeit significant
measure. I consider it important that consumers be properly informed so that, at a time of crisis, when people look to buy cheaper products, they do not buy low-quality agricultural products. It is similarly important that national inspection authorities conduct thorough checks of the consumer market so that we will never again useindustrial salt on our food, or eat chickens that have been around the world twice and frozen four times, and whose origin we cannot trace. Foodstuffs such as these harm human health, and even kill people. We see examples every year: last year in Germany, and now people are dying in the Czech Republic from methanol. I therefore believe that the adoption of the regulation of Parliament and of the Council on agricultural product quality schemes will contribute to ensuring a better quality system for foodstuffs."@en1
