The Council adopted on 3 December 2003 an amendment of Directive 95/2/EC on food additives other than colours and sweeteners. The amendment harmonises the use of food additives in flavourings at EU level in order to reduce unfair competition in this area and better serve the consumer. At the same time, the use of one new food additive as well as new uses of already authorised food additives will be allowed, while a number of other additives will be withdrawn since they are no longer widely used. The revised Directive will enter into force 20 days after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. After at latest 18 months Member States must ensure that all new food products placed on the market comply with the Directive. |
