Stricter rules on food for vulnerable consumers
After 20 months of work and debate, the European Parliament during the Strasbourg plenary session has given the green light this afternoon to new rules governing specific foods. Those concerned are infants, young children, hospitalized patients and the obese.

MEPs of Parliament´s environment committee will today hold a debate on the dangers of pesticides to Europe’s bee population.
