Food supplements: approximation of the laws of the Member States

The European Parliament adopted one amendment in second reading. That amendment proposes to increase the maximum time period allowed for the submission to the Commission of dossiers for scientific evaluation, in the context of Article 4.6.b, from 18 to 36 months. It has been argued that this would facilitate the task of preparing these dossiers by the companies concerned, in particular small and medium enterprises. The Commission can accept this amendment.�
