". Parliament has approved a number of amendments to the regulation before us, which have made substantial improvements to the Commission’s original proposal. I naturally welcome these amendments. The most important of these are the Community-level prohibition of the production and marketing of blends of olive oil with other oils or fats, essential to ensuring the quality of olive oil; the prohibition of the term ‘olive oil’ – or any other image or symbol suggesting olive oil, on the label or in information to the consumer – from being used to describe any blend of fats or oils, in order to combat unfair competition; the compulsory indication of the origin of olives, based on the country of harvest; and the retention of production refunds for canned fish and canned vegetables. It was essential for the Council to act on Parliament’s opinion in this area, but Parliament has not proposed effective mechanisms for regulating the market and has accepted the end of production aid. We deplore the rejection of our group’s proposal, which would, at least, have protected some production-based aid – linked to the quantity of olive oil actually produced, and not to the hectare. I am pleased that our proposal to retain the current monitoring bodies was approved, but regret the fact that all of the others were rejected."@en1
