The Committee adopted a draft recommendation, under the codecision procedure, for a second reading on the common position established by the Council with a view to the adoption of a European Parliament and Council Directive on coffee and chicory extracts. The rapporteur is Mr Paul LANNOYE (Greens, B). The committee adopted two amendments seeking to reduce the the number of different weights at which prepackaged coffee and chicory can be sold in order not to confuse the consumer. Another amendment called for the use of an International Standards Organization norm to determine the carbohydrate content of soluble coffees.
