As stated by Parlasur in a statement, the approval of the project, prepared by its President Daniel Caggiani, together with parliamentarians Luis Gallo and Carlos Gomes, would imply the first comprehensive regional food regulation.

 According to the statement, the draft standards proposed by Parlasur are subject to the consideration of the Common Market Council of the block.
