"Having decided to vote against the report by Niels Busk, I declare my full support and sympathy for the topic debated – to provide more fruits for the schoolchildren in Europe. Increased obesity among young people is an ominous problem.
However, I support first and foremost the principle of subsidiarity. I am absolutely convinced that Member States and their Governments should be trusted in taking good care for their young generation. It is not the business of the EU to regulate concrete problems like the current one. The initiative in question is undoubtedly based upon good intentions. But starting to solve such problems with all-European regulations is neglecting the role and responsibility of the very actors in question: parents, schools, local governments and national governments. I am sure that they all have the same concerns and motivation to address the need to increase fruit consumption in their schools."@en1
