"The opportunity for European citizens to make informed choices, through accurate, transparent information about the foods they consume, will become a reality by the end of 2014, and it is the effort made in this area that I have supported by my vote today. I feel this is a step in the right direction, given that obesity and the number of overweight people are constantly on the increase, with the damaging effects this has on public health. This now means it will be compulsory to state the origin of meat on the label. Labels will be more legible, with a larger typeface, and will state information such as energy value and any allergens contained in the food. Europe’s socialists fought hard on this subject and have obtained an excellent outcome as a result, in the face of a right wing that is very quick to serve the interests of the agri-food industry. This is worth highlighting, especially in the light of the resources that these lobbies are able to deploy, compared with the meagre resources that consumer associations have at their disposal."@en1
