EU Food Supplement Directive

I have recieved several hundred emails from around the globe about this issue but only a small handful from my constituency. There has been an effective postcard campaign as well.

I take the isue very seriously. I understand the desire of individuals to choose what they take and at the same for governments to regulate from time to time to provide safety. I know only too well when something goes wrong people demand action and that something must be done.

Having seen some of the scientific evidence it does appear that the safety element of these rgulations have been overplayed. I will therefore certainly be pressing Mnisters to produce concrete evidence of the need for any Directive at all for many of the products listed.
