Foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses. Recast

The Committee on Legal Affairs adopted a report drafted by József SZAJER (EPP-ED, HU) and amended the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (recast).

Certain additional measures must be taken in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny. These include the Commission's power to authorise for a two-year period the placing on the market of foodstuffs which do not comply with the rules as to composition laid down by the specific directives for groups of foodstuffs for particular nutritional uses referred to in Annex I. It also includes certain derogations from the provisions of the legislation. The urgency procedure may only be used if there exist imperative grounds of urgency.
