Foods and food ingredients treated with ionising radiation. Framework Directive

This modified proposal for a Council Directive on the approximation of Member States' laws concerning foods and food ingredients treated with ionising radiation takes into account a number of the amendments put forward by the EP. The list of products for which the treatment would be permitted has been reduced in this amended text. Furthermore, certain EP amendments, in particular that relating to public access to scientific data, have been taken on board. The Commission did not accept the EP amendments restricting the scope of the Committee procedure.�
