An IDU nation - originated proposal. All in Favor? 
Quote: Labeling Standards
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Antrium
Description: SEEING THAT some companies may label their products incorrectly, or misuse words like ?fresh? and ?organic?, and also seeing that there is a rising number of people that need to be able to know what is in what they are eating, this proposal imposes the following:
I. If a product is marketed in one or multiple countries that speak different official languages, all labels on the product must be in all official languages of those countries, and must all translate to mean the same thing.
II. Defining ?fresh? as ?not stale, sour, or decayed? and ?not altered by processing,? and defining ?organic? as ?food produced with the use of feed or fertilizer of plant or animal origin without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides.? Nothing may be labeled ?fresh? or ?organic? unless it fits the above definition.
III. All people have the right to know what is in the food they eat. This means all packaged products must be labeled with (if applicable) the ingredients of the product, and nutrition facts, which should include the amount of fat, trans fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, sodium, protein, vitamins and minerals, and calories in the product. Also, all packaged products must be labeled with the country where the product was grown/made.
Voting Ends: Thu Sep 22 2005 [/quote]
We anticipate casting the region's vote on Wednesday night.
