Amending certain Directives concerning food and food ingredients, outdoor noise, patients’ rights and radio equipment as regards certain reporting requirements

The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety adopted the report by Ivan Vilibor SINČIĆ (NI, HR) on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council  amending Directives 1999/2/EC, 2000/14/EC, 2011/24/EU and 2014/53/EU as regards certain reporting requirements in the fields of food and food ingredients, outdoor noise, patients’ rights, and radio equipment.

The committee responsible recommended that the European Parliament adopt its position at first reading taking over the Commission's proposal.

The proposal concerns limited and targeted changes of legislation in view of rationalising reporting requirements.

Directive 1999/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directive 2000/14/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directive 2011/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council and Directive 2014/53/EU of European Parliament and of the Council provide for a certain number of reporting requirements in the field as of food and food ingredients, outdoor noise, patients’ rights, and radio equipment.

All the above-mentioned pieces of legislation affected by this proposal contain provisions of a similar type, which impose obligations that have become unnecessary with time. Amending the mentioned Directives in the proposed manner will result in the rationalisation of reporting obligations in all of the affected legal frameworks.
