I move:


That leave be given to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to enhance the level of information which is made available to the consumers of foodstuffs and for that purpose to introduce a series of new requirements for food labelling and signage, to amend the Food Safety Authority of Ireland Act 1998 and to provide for related matters.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
