Wilfried Martens said: “There are parties, members of the EPP, which are not ruling and thus I have always said we should work together and I am happy the CEDB got support at the general elections in Bulgaria last year,” “I have never expected that the party of CEDB will get such huge support both at the elections for Members of the European Parliament and the parliamentary elections and will form a government,”

Jean-Paul Gauzes said: "I have good reason to believe that this withdrawal is motivated by the desire to find as wide as possible an agreement on a topic in which there are varying vested interests. I am sure that Member States are aware of the absolute necessity of putting in place effective and pragmatic legislation that best responds to the need to regulate all financial activities in the EU. This postponement will not change the European Parliament's timetable at the moment for a vote in Committee in 12 April 2010"

Carl Schlyter commented: "I welcome that the EU Parliament environment committee has agreed on several improvements on food labelling for consumers. Consumers will at last know the country of origin of all meat and therefore be empowered to choose not to support the long-distance transport of animals. Labelling will be mandatory for foods containing nano-products, which shows that we take the advance of nanotechnology in the food sector seriously. MEPs have indicated they want to go beyond labelling of chemically altered 'trans fats' and wish to secure an outright ban of their inclusion in food. I regret however that a majority of committee members caved in to lobbying by the food industry to drop support for a 'traffic light' system, which would guarantee consumer-friendly information on the levels of fat, salt, sugar and calorie content. I also regret that the committee voted in favour of deleting 'nutrient profiles' in the Health Claims regulation, which are designed to ensure that foods cannot be marketed as more healthy than they really are. The report is overall a positive step, but one that still leaves room for significant further improvement when the EU Parliament plenary votes on it in May"
