Ombudsman urges improved transparency on food labelling
The EU Ombudsman has urged the
Commission to improve the transparency of its legislative documents after
it rejected two requests for access relating to the announced review of food
labelling rules (front-of-pack nutritional information, origin, date
marking and list of ingredients in alcohol). The complainant, the
association FoodWatch, had asked the Commission for access to all impact
assessments and other documents, which the Commission's executive refused
on the grounds that the decision-making process was ongoing.
Last February, the Ombudsman found
another instance of "maladministration" in the handling of
lobbying against the front-of-pack nutrition label Nutri-Score, following a
complaint by BEUC. "One of the core principles of the EU is its
openness in decision-making," BEUC's Emma Calvert told Euractiv,
"but the repeated failure to meet these standards on fron-t-ofpack
nutrition labelling raises concerns about how decisions are made and
influenced."
