Nutrition and health claims made on foods: Commission implementing powers

 The committee adopted the report by Adriana POLI BORTONE (UEN, IT) approving the proposal amending the new regulation on nutrition and health claims made on foods. The proposal was aimed at  introducing into the regulation the new regulatory procedure with scrutiny that is now applicable for the exercise of implementing powers. The committee adopted just three amendments - under the 1st reading of the codecision procedure - designed to ensure that the new procedure should also apply to national measures considered necessary by a Member State.
