The Council took note of the Presidency progress report on the proposal for a Regulation on the provision of food information to consumers (labelling), which briefly describes the state of play of the discussions within the Council's preparatory bodies on this complex legislative dossier (Council doc. 10641/09).
The examination of the file should continue during the Swedish Presidency in order to reach an agreement within the Council, while awaiting the outcome of the European Parliament's first reading.
