"Madam President, I think there is no doubt that consumer confidence has been seriously shaken by this horsemeat scandal. As always in these types of situations, there can be a good point as well, and the good point is that in many areas people are returning to the local butcher’s shop. They are clearly sending the message that when they buy, they want to know what they are buying. I think this is to be welcomed.
I am in favour of better and effective labelling, but I have to say that, with all the labelling in the world, if the criminals are out there and they want to beat the system, it will not matter what labelling you put on it unless you have the proper inspections as well.
In my opinion, this happened for two reasons: because the processing chain is far too long, and because of the pressure by retailers on the food industry to bring down prices and provide so-called ‘cheap food’. Let me say this very clearly in this House today: there is no such thing as cheap food. Good food costs money."@en1
