".
We voted in favour of the compromise proposals at this second reading, because we feel it is important that there should be a high level of protection for consumers regarding the addition of vitamins, minerals and other substances to foods, which we must ensure do not pose a danger to public health.
In December 2005, the Council did not incorporate into the common position that it adopted some important amendments adopted by Parliament last May. We therefore deem it important to enshrine once again the bio-availability – meaning available to be used by the body – of vitamins and minerals. Otherwise, consumers will be misled and may even put their health at risk.
Furthermore, safe maximum quantities for vitamins and minerals must be set and information for consumers must be made easy to understand and useful.
We regret the fact that other positive amendments were not adopted, but we hope that they will at least be taken on board by the Council."@en1
