HC Deb 02 February 1998 vol 305 c550W
Mr. Tyler

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he will take during the United Kingdom presidency to complete negotiations on a standard European Union-wide system of food product labelling to indicate genetically-modified ingredients; and if he will make a statement. [25753]

Mr. Rooker

During the UK presidency I will be pressing for agreement to be reached as quickly as possible on a standard EU wide system of labelling for genetically modified food ingredients that is both practical and meaningful to consumers.
