The Council's common position and Parliament's amendments make certain changes to the Commission's amended proposal, which are nevertheless in line with the objectives and general principles on which the proposal is based.
The amendments adopted by Parliament serve mainly to clarify the text of the Directive.
One amendment confirms that foodstuffs, including plant-based foodstuffs, will continue to be governed by legislation on foodstuffs and the other clarifies the type of herbal substances that the Committee should include in the future list, the purpose of which is to provide a harmonised list of the herbal substances likely to be used in traditional herbal medicinal products.�
