lpv:translated text	"I voted against the Sommer report for four main reasons: Firstly, because it does not require nutritional information, such as fats, sugar and salt, to be included on the front-of-pack label, which the food industry lobbied against. Secondly, because it does not call for ‘colour codes’ or ‘signs’ on packs, with the use of red, orange or green to indicate the calorific, fat, sugar, salt and other content of foods (high, medium, low). Thirdly, because natural trans-fatty acids will not be included on the label. Fourthly, because the label will state the country of origin only for fresh meat and fish. This undermines the position of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, which voted to include the country of origin on the label both for frozen or processed meat and for meat and dairy products. The agreement between the European Parliament and the Council on the provision of information to food consumers benefits industry, not consumers. The risks to health (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer) from inadequate or misleading information are enormous. Nonetheless, the food industry spends approximately USD 10 billion a year to influence children’s eating habits."@en1
