"I very much welcome the focus of this report. It is vital that we as MEPs stress the importance of educating our children and young people on the benefits of good nutrition in our schools and colleges. In my own constituency, a survey conducted by the Public Health Agency (PHA) estimated that over 60[nbsp ]% of adults living in Northern Ireland are now overweight or obese. This situation is unacceptable. It is important that we equip a new generation of young people with a proper knowledge of what to eat, what not to eat, and how much to eat. And I am pleased that the Committee considers the benefits that ICT offers towards this education more interactive and effective. I also share this report’s emphasis on the cultural and tourist potential offered by indigenous local produce and culinary styles. In Northern Ireland, the agri-food industry is a vital part of the local economy, and at the core of this are many projects that provide tourists with an insight into quality, specialist Ulster produce. It is right that these opportunities are exploited."@en1
