"Today UKIP voted against the La Via report on the proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to caseins and caseinates intended for human consumption.
We believe in preserving the health and well-being of citizens by guaranteeing transparency when it comes to the ingredients of the food they consume. We also support food business operators and understand their need to have all the necessary information at their disposal when labelling the final products, especially when it comes to allergens. However, the reasoning behind this vote concerned the alignment of the powers conferred upon the Commission by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which we are not prepared to support.
We do not believe that these issues should be defined at an EU level. We oppose the drafting of further EU legislation and we believe that each Member State should have the autonomy to decide whether and how to legislate on these issues. We believe in the right of sovereign nations to establish their own policies."@en1
