".
We are now seeing the emergence of what are known as ‘active’ and ‘intelligent’ packaging for food preservation, but European legislation has not always kept pace with these developments.
This is an attempt better to preserve consumer health and to facilitate the free movement of goods, by establishing a legal framework for technological development, issues currently governed by a directive that dates back to 1989 and which is now under review.
The draft defines as ‘active’ packaging designed to interact with food to preserve its qualities and to extend its shelf-life and as ‘intelligent’ packaging which is able to provide information on the condition of the food content. Account is also taken of other recent materials and products.
Taken together with the specific traceability measures proposed, these food safety measures will contribute to a real improvement in the quality of food products, to greater confidence on the part of European consumers and, of course, to higher food safety standards.
I therefore voted in favour."@en1
