Flavouring substances used or for use in foodstuffs

Adopting the report by Mrs Kirsten JENSEN (PSE, DK), Parliament amended at second reading the proposal for a regulation on flavouring substances used in foodstuffs. It called for already authorized flavouring substances produced in processes or with primary substances which were not the basis for the Scientific Committee for Food's assessment to be resubmitted to the Scientific Committee for Food for a complete assessment. Flavouring substances should be designated in such a way as to protect the intellectual property rights of the flavouring substances' producer.�
