"I was pleased to have the opportunity to acknowledge and support the contribution gastronomy makes to our local economy and culture and I am happy to support this report which respects the principle of subsidiarity while also adding value and emphasises the wide diversity of gastronomy in Europe. I am pleased that many of my amendments were adopted in committee, for example regarding the importance of gastronomy in promoting the hospitality sector as well as stressing that gastronomy is a strong cultural export for the EU and individual Member States. Not to forget that gastronomy has a particularly high value when it comes to tourism and jobs. I would also like to highlight the important trade element of selling our local and regional ingredients and produce within our Member States as well as to third countries. Further, the report highlights the importance of better educating our young people about nutrition and diet. I am proud of my country and region’s gastronomic heritage. My region, East Midlands, has many delicious dishes, such as the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie, Stilton Cheese and the Lincolnshire Sausage for example, as well as many ingredients exported across Europe and the world by our farmers and food producers."@en1
