"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I welcomed Ms Ries’ report, and therefore the proposal for a regulation aimed at amending and supplementing the rules on food intended for infants and young children and on food for special medical purposes, as this text should allow Europe to establish a clearer and more coherent legal framework. Firstly, I would like to highlight the obligation to provide full, objective information on food products. One very sensitive case is the question of advertising for formulae for infants aged 0 to six months and formulae for infants aged six months to two years. The facts show that advertising practices tend to concern parents by using marketing strategies rather than providing them with information of a scientific and factual nature, allowing consumers to make a clear distinction in order to avoid any risk of confusion. This lack of clarity represents a danger to the health of our children, a danger which must be avoided by using stricter controls. Lastly, I think that the report could have provided for more effective evaluation mechanisms. This evaluation should not be carried out only taking into consideration the consumers the products are aimed at, but on the basis of a careful and comprehensive evaluation of all the ingredients in the product in question."@en1
