Food labelling fiasco

I wonder how many people realise that today the European Parliament will be voting on food labelling and come to that, how many people actually care!
At the moment some of the food producers put the 'traffic light' system on their packaging so that the shopper can see at a glance whether it's high in fat, sugar or salt.
Well firstly, I do not think that the European Parliament should be making laws that most of it's members such as France, Germany, Italy etc. will not keep while expecting us to keep them and secondly, I don't think food labelling is comprehensive enough.
So many people today have some form of food allergy or sensitivity that they need to know exactly what is in it, especially the processed stuff because they put in chemicals and additives that weren't even invented in my younger days. I am sure this is why some people have these allergies too. If they had been reared on good wholesome food that had been prepared in the home without all the unnecessary extras then they probably would not have problems now. Years ago we never heard of all these allergies.
I like to know exactly what is going into my mouth and that's why I prefer to make everything from scratch. If food is well prepared it doesn't need extra chemicals. I like to know where and how it was grown/reared, I prefer it to be as local as possible, I don't want oranges from Peru or South America when Spain is much closer and almost sinking into the sea with them. After all, they have to be picked a long time before they're eaten when they have to travel so far which means they can't be called fresh.
Oh! One more thing, there should be a dictionary in every aisle of the supermarket so that when I am reading the labels I will be able to look up what they have really put in it because some of the additives I have never heard of!
