On 23 February, IMCO will consider amendments and compromise amendments to its draft opinion to the AGRI and ENVI Committees joint own-initiative report on a "Farm to Fork Strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system".
The draft opinion focuses on changes needed throughout the food supply chain to establish a more sustainable, healthy and resilient food system for the benefit of EU consumers. 197 amendments have been tabled to the draft opinion. The Rapporteur, Mr Claude Gruffat (Greens/EFA), proposed a series of draft compromises on most of the aspects covered in the draft opinion, such as the promotion of healthy and sustainable diets, consumer information and product labelling, cooperation in the food sector and more effective measures against fraud and misleading claims. IMCO will vote on the draft opinion on 17 March, ahead of the vote by the lead Committees in April 2021.
