Although we keep on hearing about businesses re-locating, the food sector is an example that proves that the EU is still a production base. The food sector is the main employer in Europe, with 4.2 million workers, and has a turnover of EUR 1 000 billion annually. Although this sector is currently a recipient and creates jobs, this is due to the common agricultural policy and its quality products, which is making the EU the second-largest exporter of agricultural products. However, we are not resting on our laurels; we are strengthening our long-term position as a leader on the international market. This is precisely the meaning of this report, which I supported and which proposes that we highlight our assets through a policy of promotion that is considered, ambitious and targeted. Examples of the aspects to highlight that I am thinking of are our quality labels, European gastronomy and our environmental and health quality standards for production. What might have seemed to be a constraint on the sector initially has become one of the sales arguments to strengthen our position on the global market, where consumers are looking increasingly for quality and authenticity."@en1
