Secrecy over labelling plans leads to lawsuit against European Commission

Foodwatch International and Access Info are taking the European Commission to court because the Commission is hiding documents about its plans on new food labelling.

No clarity

“Why has the EU Commission quietly buried the plan to present a Europe-wide food label, as planned in the Farm to Fork strategy?”, Suzy Sumner, head of Foodwatch’s Brussels office, asks Euronews. The NGO wants to see the documents and minutes, but is denied access.
