lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, food and consumer protection have become vexatious topics. They also involve a great deal of uncertainty. This report should achieve greater clarity, and Mr Lannoye has evidently put a great deal of effort into it. I believe, however, that too much exactitude and too many details can also be dangerous, and with this in mind I can only support what was said by Mrs Thyssen: here, and also in our work generally, we should distinguish more and more between political statements and technical considerations. We are also overstretched in many respects, not through our average IQ being so low, but simply because the specialised technical knowledge cannot be present, because simply too much is presupposed and we then also have difficulty at some point in deciding what is lobbying and what is meaningful activity. I also believe that we should be careful when deciding on the details of labels, so that we do not, through the sheer compulsion to regulate – as for example with fruit juices, where, however, we have now reached a compromise – end up leading the consumer astray with duplicated explanations and elucidations. If we carry on that way, even wines will soon have to carry their chemical composition on the label, and then the marketing of wine will no doubt be far less straightforward. I am glad to be able to thank all those who have contributed to reaching compromises – in the field of fruit juices, on the subjects of fungicides, water adulteration and the juice and concentrate issue, as well as on aromas – and hope that, in the problematic area of honey, it is impossible to conceal the product's origin. I would ask you, ladies and gentlemen, when voting, to pay careful attention to this as well."@en1
