As far as the question of postponing the labelling is concerned, I would again like to draw your attention to the fact that the Commission’s interest is not in delaying this, but rather in ensuring that we do not get to the end of the year only to find ourselves without either a voluntary or a mandatory labelling system in place. Do not overlook one point, namely that it is of no use to make a labelling system obligatory if the data required for this is not available.
Concernant la question du report de l'étiquetage, je voudrais encore vous faire remarquer que l'intérêt de la Commission n'est pas de reporter l'étiquetage, mais que notre intérêt consiste à ne pas nous retrouver en fin d'année sans système d'étiquetage facultatif et sans système d'étiquetage obligatoire.
