ISIS PRESS RELEASE 23/04/09
Transparent Food Labelling for Europe
##############################
In 2008, ISIS proposed a transparent labelling scheme that
directly informs consumers as alternative to organic
certification (Transparent Label An Alternative to Organic
Certification, SiS 37
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/transparentlabelorganic.phpThis has now become a Written Declaration in European
Parliament,
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/transparent_labelling.pdfproposed by 5 MEPs: Cristiana Muscardini, Monica Frassoni,
Christopher Beazley, Daniel Daianu and Adamos Adamou. In
order to be approved, the Written Declaration
must be signed by 393 MEPS. Up to now, it has been signed by 213 MEPs.
We have the contact details of MEPS who have not yet signed.
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/MEPs.pdfPlease identify your MEPs and ask them to sign on. This
scheme benefits both consumers and producers and encourages
small family farms and local food consumption. The Written
Declaration is available for signing during the plenary
session in Strasbourg (from the 21 to 24 April and from the
4 to 7 May).
