"In March 2012, the European Commission published a communication on information and promotion of agricultural products which is expected to be followed, probably next year, by a legislative text. The institutions’ desire to promote foods (such as the School Fruit Scheme) is expressed again in this report. What we are asking with this text is for the information and promotion measures currently available for European foods to be further developed and adapted to produce a coherent, effective promotion policy capable of increasing the competitiveness of the agricultural sector and at the same time making consumers aware of the high quality of European agricultural products. In response to consumers’ concerns, farmers in Europe have to cope with ever stricter rules on food safety, environmental conditions and animal welfare compared with their competitors in the rest of the world. The agricultural sector has the potential to be strong and vibrant for economic growth and innovation in all the Member States. It could, in fact, contribute to an increase in farmers’ incomes, create jobs and generate growth. For these reasons I voted in favour."@en1
