This proposal for a directive forms part of the process of updating Community legislation on general food hygiene rules, on health policy issues related to the marketing of products of animal origin and on official controls of products of animal origin. Simplifying bureaucracy and, at the same time, maintaining high standards in this field are of particular importance, since we now have incontrovertible proof that the standards of hygiene presented to the consuming public have not always been uniform or reliable.
The measures recommended in the proposal will consequently enable us to hold all those involved at any stage of the food chain more accountable, allowing for higher levels of consumer confidence, which has been dealt severe blows by recent crises. We will, therefore, have to promote coherence and transparency when implementing this new legal framework, not forgetting the specific needs of small producers, who tend to be further removed from the places where information is disseminated and changes to legislation are made.
I believe that the European Commission must consider the proposal for an amendment put forward by the rapporteur, focusing on the need to allow States to adapt to the new rules.
I have therefore voted in favour of the report."@en1
