Mr President, I would like to thank the House for taking up this topic. The regulation on nutrition and health claims on foods and the regulation on the addition of vitamins and minerals and certain other substances to foods are significant for consumer protection. They give the consumer the opportunity to make the right decisions regarding the purchase of many foodstuffs. They create better conditions for fair competition among those producing and supplying food to our market. They facilitate a better diet which will then translate into better physical shape and health. Adopting these regulations will be, in my opinion, a step in the right direction.
