Flavouring substances used or for use in foodstuffs

The Commission's amended proposal took over the European Parliament's amendments concerning the order of the recitals, in light of the importance of the regulation for public health. However, the Commission did not accept the amendments concerning: - the recital and articles providing for a special procedure for flavourings containing genetically modified organisms; - the transmission of draft measures to be adopted by the Commission; - the publication of flavourings in the form of codes in order to protect intellectual property; - the role of the Scientific Committee for Food in drawing up the positive lists. �
