Therefore, it was my duty and that of my fellow MEPs to strongly oppose the Commission's desire to allow the agri-food industry to use a new food additive of which the sole purpose is ultimately to generate further profits, with a concomitant disregard for the protection of the rights of consumers, one of which is to receive accurate information about the food which they choose to consume.
Seetõttu oli minu ja mu Euroopa Parlamendi kaasliikmete kohus avaldada tugevat vastuseisu komisjoni soovile lubada toiduainetetööstusel kasutada uut lisaainet, mille ainsaks otstarbeks lõppkokkuvõttes on tuua täiendavat kasu, eirates seejuures kaitset tarbijate õigustele, millest üks on saada täpset teavet toidu kohta, mida nad tarbimiseks valivad.
