<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers stipulates that prepacked food must have a label which gives either a ‘best before’ or a ‘use by’ date and details of storage conditions for the specific product in question. For example, in the case of foods which are highly perishable and likely to constitute an immediate danger to human health, ‘best before’ dates should be replaced by ‘use by’ dates and it is the manufacturer’s responsibility to decide which to use and to specify the product’s shelf life. The fact of the matter is that any product past its ‘use by’ date should not be consumed, but those past their ‘best before’ dates can still safely be eaten. However, these labels are confusing for consumers and are the cause of 10% of food waste in Europe.In 2015, the Commission said it planned to explore ways of promoting a better understanding of date marking on food.Can the Commission therefore make clear where it stands on this subject and what proposals it will put forward to clarify date marking and tackle food waste?"
