DIRECTIVES  
DIRECTIVE 2012/12/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL  
of 19 April 2012  
amending Council Directive 2001/112/EC relating to fruit juices and certain similar products 
intended for human consumption  
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE 
EUROPEAN UNION,  
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European 
Union, and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,  
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,  
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national 
parliaments,  
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and 
Social Committee (  1 ), 
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (  2 ), 
Whereas:  
(1) In order to protect the interests of consumers and to 
enhance the free movement of fruit juices and certain 
similar products within the Union, Council Directive 
2001/112/EC (  3 ) has laid down specific provisions 
regarding production, composition and labelling of the 
products concerned. Those rules should be adapted to 
technical progress and should, as far as possible, take 
account of developments in relevant international stan ­
dards, in particular the Codex General Standard for fruit 
juices and nectars (Codex Stan 247-2005) which was 
adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission during 
its 28th session held from 4 to 9 July 2005 (‘Codex 
Standard’). The Codex Standard establishes, in particular, 
quality factors and labelling requirements for fruit juices 
and similar products.  (2) Without prejudice to Directive 2000/13/EC of the 
European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 
2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member 
States relating to the labelling, presentation and adver ­
tising of foodstuffs (  4 ), it is necessary to amend the 
specific provisions of Directive 2001/112/EC concerning 
the labelling of fruit juices and similar products to reflect 
the new rules on authorised ingredients, such as those 
pertaining to the addition of sugars, which are no longer 
authorised in fruit juices. For other products, added 
sugars should continue to be labelled in accordance 
with Directive 2000/13/EC.  
(3) The nutrition claim ‘with no added sugars’, as listed in 
the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 of the 
European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 
2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods (  5 ), 
has been used in relation to fruit juices for a very long 
time. In the light of the new compositional requirements 
for fruit juices provided for in this Directive, its 
disappearance from one day to the next after a transi ­
tional period might not allow an immediate clear 
distinction to be made between fruit juices and other 
drinks in terms of the addition of sugars in the 
products, which would be detrimental to the fruit 
juices sector. In order to enable the industry to inform 
consumers properly, it should be possible to use, for a 
limited time, a statement indicating that no fruit juices 
contain added sugars.  
(4) In order to bring the Annexes to Directive 2001/112/EC 
into line with developments in relevant international 
standards and to take into account technical progress, 
the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 
of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union 
should be delegated to the Commission in respect of 
amending those Annexes, with the exception of Part I 
of Annex I, and of Annex II. It is of particular 
importance that the Commission carry outEN 27.4.2012 Official Journal of the European Union L 115/1  
( 1 ) OJ C 84, 17.3.2011, p. 45.  
( 2 ) Position of the European Parliament of 14 December 2011 (not yet 
published in the Official Journal) and decision of the Council of 
8 March 2012 (not yet published in the Official Journal).

( 5 ) OJ L 404, 30.12.2006, p. 9.appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, 
including at expert level. The Commission, when 
preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure 
a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of 
relevant documents to the European Parliament and to 
the Council.  
(5) In order to allow Member States to adopt national laws, 
regulations and administrative provisions necessary to 
comply with this Directive, a transposition period of 
18 months should be established. During that period 
the requirements of Directive 2001/112/EC, without 
the amendments introduced by this Directive, should 
remain applicable.  
(6) In order to take into account the interests of economic 
operators who place on the market or label their 
products in accordance with the requirements applicable 
before the application of the national provisions trans ­
posing this Directive, it is necessary to establish appro ­
priate transitional measures. Therefore, this Directive 
should provide that those products may continue to be 
marketed for a limited time beyond the transposition 
period.  
(7) Since the objective of this Directive, namely to adapt 
Directive 2001/112/EC to technical progress whilst 
taking into account the Codex Standard, cannot be suffi ­
ciently achieved by the Member States and can therefore 
be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt 
measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity 
as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. 
In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set 
out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond 
what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.  
(8) Directive 2001/112/EC should be amended accordingly,

PRODUCT NAMES, DEFINITIONS OF PRODUCTS AND CHARACTERISTICS  
I. DEFINITIONS  
1. (a)  Fruit juice  
The fermentable but unfermented product obtained from the edible part of fruit which is sound and ripe, fresh 
or preserved by chilling or freezing of one or more kinds mixed together having the characteristic colour, 
flavour and taste typical of the juice of the fruit from which it comes.  
Flavour, pulp, and cells obtained by suitable physical means from the same species of fruit may be restored to 
the juice.  
In the case of citrus fruits, the fruit juice must come from the endocarp. Lime juice, however, may be obtained 
from the whole fruit.  
Where juices are processed from fruits with pips, seeds and peel, parts or components of pips, seeds and peel 
shall not be incorporated in the juice. This provision shall not apply to cases where parts or components of 
pips, seeds and peel cannot be removed by good manufacturing practices.  
The mixing of fruit juice with fruit purée is authorised in the production of the fruit juice.  
(b) Fruit juice from concentrate  
The product obtained by reconstituting concentrated fruit juice defined in point 2 with potable water that 
meets the criteria set out in Council Directive 98/83/EC of 3 November 1998 on the quality of water intended 
for human consumption (  1 ). 
The soluble solids content of the finished product shall meet the minimum Brix level for reconstituted juice 
specified in Annex V.  
If a juice from concentrate is manufactured from a fruit not mentioned in Annex V, the minimum Brix level of 
the reconstituted juice shall be the Brix level of the juice as extracted from the fruit used to make the 
concentrate.  
Flavour, pulp and cells obtained by suitable physical means from the same species of fruit may be restored to 
the fruit juice from concentrate.  
The fruit juice from concentrate is prepared by suitable processes, which maintain the essential physical, 
chemical, organoleptical and nutritional characteristics of an average type of juice of the fruit from which it 
comes.  
The mixing of fruit juice and/or concentrated fruit juice with fruit purée and/or concentrated fruit purée is 
authorised in the production of fruit juice from concentrate.  
2. Concentrated fruit juice  
The product obtained from fruit juice of one or more fruit species by the physical removal of a specific proportion 
of the water content. Where the product is intended for direct consumption, the removal shall be at least 50 % of 
the water content.  
Flavour, pulp and cells obtained by suitable physical means from the same species of fruit may be restored to the 
concentrated fruit juice.  
3. Water extracted fruit juice  
The product obtained by diffusion with water of:  
— pulpy whole fruit whose juice cannot be extracted by any physical means, or  
— dehydrated whole fruit.EN L 115/4 Official Journal of the European Union 27.4.2012  
( 1 ) OJ L 330, 5.12.1998, p. 32.4. Dehydrated/powdered fruit juice  
The product obtained from fruit juice of one or more fruit species by the physical removal of virtually all the water 
content.  
5. Fruit nectar  
The fermentable but unfermented product which:  
— is obtained by adding water with or without the addition of sugars and/or honey to the products defined in 
points 1 to 4 to fruit purée and/or to concentrated fruit purée and/or to a mixture of those products, and  
— meets the requirements of Annex IV.  
Without prejudice to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
