Отчита ролята на работодателите за насърчаване на здравословен начин на живот сред техните служители; изтъква, че здравето и, следователно, продуктивността на работната сила следва да бъдат част от стратегията на предприятията за корпоративна социална отговорност; очаква наскоро създадения Европейски алианс за корпоративна социална отговорност да насърчи обмена на добри практики в тази сфера;
Recognises the role of employers in promoting healthy lifestyles amongst their employees; points out that workforce health and hence productivity should be part of businesses' corporate social-responsibility strategy; looks to the recently launched European Alliance for corporate social responsibility to promote the exchange of good practice in this domain;
Приветства призива, отправен от научната общност по време на Десетия международен конгрес по проблемите на затлъстяването за засилване на научните изследвания с оглед на постигане на по-добро разбиране относно начина, по който генетичните фактори и начинът на живот взаимодействат и предизвикват болести;
Welcomes the call issued by the scientific fraternity at the Tenth International Congress on Obesity for research to be stepped up with a view to achieving better insight into how genetic factors and lifestyle interact and give rise to illness;
Приветства, в тази връзка, финансирането от Общността, осигурено за девет проекта, включени в тематичния приоритет "Качество и безопасност на храните" в рамките на Шестата рамкова програма за научни изследвания и технологично развитие - проекти, които търсят нови начини на противодействие на затлъстяването чрез съсредоточаване върху (например) специфична възрастова група или чрез изучаване на взаимодействието между генетични и поведенчески фактори и състояние на насищане;
Welcomes in this connection the Community funding provided for nine projects included under the 'food quality and safety' thematic priority within the Sixth Research and Development Framework Programme - projects which seek new ways of combating obesity by concentrating on (for example) a specific age range or by studying the interaction between genetic and behavioural factors and a state of satiation;
Подчертава важността на наличието на сравним набор от показатели относно здравния статус (включително данни относно приема на храни, физическите занимания и затлъстяването), особено по възрастова група и социално-икономическа класа;
45.Highlights the importance of having a comparable set of indicators on health status (including data on dietary intake, physical activity and obesity), especially by age group and socio-economic class;
Изразява голяма загриженост от намалялата консумация на плодове и зеленчуци в Европа, която основно засяга европейски домакинства с ниски доходи поради факта, че такива продукти са скъпи и се предоставя твърде малко информация относно истинското им значение за режима на хранене;
Is highly concerned at the fall in the consumption of fruit and vegetables within Europe, which mainly affects low-income European households on account of the fact that such products are expensive and too little information is made available concerning their true value in the diet;
Изразява загриженост относно доклади, гласящи че хранителното съдържание на произвеждани в Европа плодове и зеленчуци е намаляло през последните десетилетия и призовава Комисията и Съвета да предприемат необходимите мерки в прегледа на Общата земеделска политика за 2008 г., за да отчетат питателността на храните като важен критерий и да насърчат производството на качествени храни и стимулите за здравословно хранене в рамките на политиките за развитие на селските райони;
Is concerned about reports that the nutritional content of fruit and vegetables produced in Europe has fallen over the last decades and calls on Commission and Council to take the necessary steps in the 2008 Common Agricultural Policy review in order to consider food nutritive value an important criterion and to enhance quality food production and healthy nutrition incentives in the framework of rural development policies;
Призовава за по-голямо съгласуване на Общата земеделска политика и здравните политики, подети от Европейския съюз, и призовава Комисията да се увери напълно, че субсидии от ЕС, отпуснати на определени промишлени отрасли, в никакъв случай не се използват за финансиране на рекламни кампании, които представят в благоприятна светлина висококалорични продукти;
Calls for greater consistency between the Common Agricultural Policy and the health policies launched by the European Union and calls upon the Commission to make quite sure that EU subsidies awarded to certain industrial sectors are not under any circumstances used to finance advertising campaigns which present high-calorie products in a favourable light;
Призовава Комисията да гарантира, че субсидии на Общността за определени промишлени отрасли не служат за финансиране на рекламни кампании на висококалорични продукти;
Calls on the Commission to ensure that Community subsidies for particular industries do not serve to finance advertising campaigns for high-calorie products;
Счита за необходима реформа на общата организация на пазарите на плодове и зеленчуци, една от целите на която би било съживяването на потреблението на този вид изключително питателни хранителни продукти; убеден е, освен това, че една политика на стимулиране (включваща намаляване на цените, по-ниски данъци и други видове субсидии) е за предпочитане пред система, основана върху повишаване на данъците върху висококалоричните продукти ("блажен данък"), което в края на краищата би представлявало тежест в частност за разполагащите с най-малко средства европейски домакинства;
Regards as essential a reform of the common organisation of the markets in fruit and vegetables, one of the objectives of which would be to revive consumption of this type of highly nutritious foodstuff; firmly believes, furthermore, that a policy of incentives (including price reductions, lower taxation and other types of subsidy) is preferable to a system based on increased taxation of high-calorie products ('fat tax') which would ultimately penalise in particular the least affluent European households;
Приканва Световната здравна организация да представи пред Европейския парламент настоящите си възгледи по въпросите на затлъстяването;
Invites the World Health Organisation to present its current thinking on obesity to the European Parliament;
Възлага на своя председател да предаде настоящата резолюция на Съвета и Комисията, на парламентите на държавите-членки и страните кандидатки, както и на СЗО.
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission, to the national parliaments of Member States and candidate countries and to the WHO.

The fact of the matter is that obesity (which is not to be confused with being overweight or carrying a few extra kilos) - and anorexia (which should not be mistaken for merely being slim or slightly too thin) - are both major physical-health problems.

Nuances apart, the greater prevalence of obesity in all sections of the population implies a greater risk of death from associated conditions such as type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.

As regards 'physical activity', which is half of the equation and hence of the solution (the famous 30 minutes of daily physical activity suggested by many medical practitioners), the rapporteur would like to point out straightaway that education and sport are matters for which the Member States or the regions have prime responsibility.

Although it is true that the educational value of sport was acknowledged at the December 2000 Nice European Council and that 2004 was designated the European Year of Education through sport, it is nonetheless true that the EU has comparatively little scope for action.

The rapporteur also recognises that there is no room any more for the kind of political correctness which results in inaction: can anyone really believe these days that there are no foodstuffs which are either 'good' or 'bad' from a nutritional point of view?

It is the former (in particular fruit and vegetables, the consumption of which has been in free fall for over a decade and of which the importance in health terms is well known) which should be the subject of EU incentive policies.

Acting in this way on a number of Community policies by creating synergies amongst them is in the rapporteur's view the most direct way (and possibly also the most difficult, in view of the number of parties involved) for Europe to contribute its added value in the struggle to change eating habits and lifestyle in general.
