7. Supports the Commission in its efforts to better inform consumers on nutritional and ecological claims, and calls for labelling of residues present in food; takes the view that providing the most accurate possible information about places of origin could help to restore the necessary relationship of trust between producers and consumers and that, with the aim in view and in keeping with the CJEU judgment in Case C-485/18, Regulation 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers should be revised;
