lpv:translated text	"Mr President, even though the Council ignored this House’s abundantly clear vote on the health claims at first reading, we have now reached a compromise that I – albeit with gritted teeth – will vote to accept, for, as Mrs Sommer so rightly said, we are now, in practical terms, being faced with the choice between a great evil and a lesser one. Turning specifically to two contentious points, I do believe that trademarks are subject to a different legal regime, are covered by other regulations and are quite out of place here. As for nutrient profiles, whilst the compromise has made it possible for the profiles to be prevented from having a prohibitive effect, we are nonetheless a long way off making the right deletion, as we did at first reading. I remain convinced that nutrient profiles are a misguided concept. Obesity and excess weight are problems that need to be taken very seriously; they are the subjects of emotional debates that will be with us again – by the time of the Green Paper on the promotion of healthy eating at the latest. I would like, at this juncture, to briefly jump ahead and say that advertising does not make people fat. The causes of obesity are multifarious and highly complex, and it is not by imposing more bans that we will successfully address them. We should seek the solution in cooperation with the food industry rather than in opposition to it."@en1
