Paragraph 1
1. Notes that consumer confidence in the safety of food in the EU has been undermined by instances of fraud in the food chain which have impacted negatively on the whole food chain, from producers through to consumers; highlights the importance of clear, comprehensive labelling, showing in particular the origin of products and their ingredients, as a means of restoring EU consumers’ confidence in food products offered for sale;
Amendment 105 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 22
Paragraph 22
22. Recalls that Parliament has previously called on the Commission to undertake impact assessments on origin labelling for fresh meat and products containing meat; urges the Commission rapidly to present its impact assessments and report on this issue; stresses that origin labelling is not per se a tool for combating food fraud, although it may indirectly lead to a better-informed and more transparent supply chain; but is an effective way of improving the traceability of meat and of making the food chain more transparent and thus safer for consumers; calls, therefore, on the Commission to propose legislation making the indication of the origin of meat in pre-prepared dishes mandatory; calls on the Commission and the Member States, further, as regards the origin labelling of fresh sheepmeat, pigmeat, goatmeat and poultrymeat, to base the new rules on those already applicable to non-processed beef and veal and thus to ensure that consumers are informed about animals’ places of birth, rearing and slaughter;
