THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on flavourings                           and certain food ingredients with flavouring properties for use in and on foods and amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/91,                           Regulations (EC) No 2232/96 and (EC) No 110/2008 and Directive 2000/13/EC(1), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,                        

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 establishing                           a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings(2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 lays down a Union list of flavourings and source materials approved for use in and                              on foods and their conditions of use.

(2)Part A of the Union list contains both evaluated flavouring substances, which are assigned no footnotes and flavouring substances                              under evaluation, which are identified by footnote references 1 to 4 in that list.

(3)The European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter referred to as the ‘Authority’, has completed the assessment of 8 substances                              which are currently listed as flavouring substances under evaluation. These flavouring substances were assessed by EFSA in                              the following flavouring group evaluations: evaluation FGE.21rev4(3) (substances FL-no 15.054, 15.055, 15.086 and 15.135), evaluation FGE.24rev2(4) (substance 14.085), evaluation FGE.77rev1(5) (substance FL-no 14.041), and evaluation FGE.93rev1(6) (substances FL-no 15.010 and FL-15.128). EFSA concluded that these flavouring substances do not give rise to safety concerns                              at the estimated levels of dietary intake.

(4)As part of its evaluation, the Authority has made comments on the specification of certain substances. The comments are related                              to names, purity or composition of the following substances: FL-no: 15.054 and 15.055. These comments should be introduced                              in the list.

(5)The flavouring substances assessed in these flavouring group evaluations should be listed as evaluated substances by deleting                              footnote references 2, 3 or 4 in the relevant entries of the Union list.

(6)Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.

(7)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals,                              Food and Feed,
