"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to begin by thanking the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development for its actions regarding this dossier, and especially rapporteur Mr Graefe zu Baringdorf, who, unfortunately, could not be here today.
The Commission's discussions demonstrate the high level of interest created regarding the issue of labelling compound feedingstuffs. The Commission’s proposal is the logical consequence of the decision issued by the European Court, last December. The proposal aims at aligning our legislation, namely Directive 2002/2/EC, so that it reflects the Court’s decision. I fully understand and acknowledge the need for political debate regarding the potential improvements on the current system of labelling compound feedingstuffs.
I appreciate the broad understanding on behalf of the European Parliament that today's proposal is not a suitable context for this discussion. The modernisation and simplification of the legislation on feedingstuffs is included in the Commission’s rolling simplification programme for 2007. The Commission is following this objective in the context of the procedure of evaluating the effects, during which interesting new ideas regarding the labelling of compound feedingstuffs will be taken into consideration, as discussed in Parliament in the past few weeks.
As I recently stated to the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, the evaluation of the effects will set the path for the legislative proposal regarding the modernisation of legislation on the labelling of feedingstuffs, which is expected to be ready in the second semester of next year. This will give us the opportunity to study in full the best way to modernise all the provisions of the legislation regarding the labelling of feedingstuffs."@en1
