Prohibiting the use of certain additives in the production of certain foodstuffs

The common position of the Council incorporated the additional traditional foodstuffs whose insertion had been called for by the European Parliament, stating, in the case of the Danish products "leverpostej" and "Kodboller", the categories of additives in respect of which a prohibition could be maintained. It also added 3 traditional Italian foodstuffs, "Salame cacciatore", "mortadella" and "cotechino e zampone" and 1 Spanish one, "Lomo embuchado". The common position also incorporated the requested provisions concerning the designation of the foodstuffs in respect of which Member States could maintain their legislation on the subject. It may be noted that the Council stated that: - the term "traditional Greek" should not be applied to "'feta' cheese"; - the designation "traditional French bread", which could be translated into every language, did not need to be placed in inverted commas; - it was permitted to maintain the prohibition on all categories of additives in the products "traditional French goose and duck preserves ("confit")". �
