"Madam President, Commissioner. This food legislation, known in the trade as Parnuts, is fortunately not as dangerous as it sounds. A year ago, UKIP voted to repeal the amendment of sports nutrition supplements from the scope of this regulation, and for once we were successful. A bit less power for the European Commission and all its unnecessary quangos is the way that we see it.
Naturally, this small victory for common sense was not based on the Commission or the Environment Committee scaling back their ambition, but on the successful lobbying of ESSNA, a small but dynamic alliance of sports nutrition companies made up of two dozen small but innovative companies – primarily from the UK – which export sports drinks and protein bars. It was the culmination of years of handiwork on their part. It is nice to reward such efforts and win a vote – even such a small vote. However, I would prefer this legislation to be made at national level."@en1
