Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Takes the view that in order to better match product supply to demand, labelling rules that provide appropriate information on the origin of the ingredients and the production and processing techniques used would enable consumers to make more informed purchases, thereby having an indirect influence also on production factors, which would have a positive impact in environmental, economic and social terms;

Paragraph 5
5. Considers that increased research and information is needed on enabling access to secondary market opportunities and alternative uses for products which would otherwise be ploughed back into the soil or wasted; in this regard, those products that can still be used for non- food purposes should be clearly distinguished from that which is considered to be waste, in order not to jeopardise their re-use;
