"The European Union has always had a legislative framework model for foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses which has been held in very high regard. However, it has been noticed recently that the development of both the food market and food legislation requires a major overhaul. I think that applying, on a general basis, the concept of ‘foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses’, which this framework directive is based on, while the market environment is changing, has given rise to significant problems not only for stakeholders, but also for the controlling authorities. Food safety, especially in the case of foods intended for vulnerable sections of the population, such as infants, young children and people with particular conditions, is an essential prerequisite for their movement and for the proper functioning of the internal market within the European Union. Therefore, I believe that a European solidarity policy is required comprising legislative measures to remove these discrepancies between national laws on foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses, thereby allowing their free movement and creating a level competitive playing field."@en1
