Having regard to Council Directive 89/398/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (1), as amended by Directive 96/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee for Food on the provisions liable to affect public health;
Whereas the essential compositional criteria for processed cereal-based foods and baby foods are specified in Annexes I and II respectively to Commission Directive 96/5/EC (3);
Whereas, because of the particular nutrient composition and chemical, physical and organoleptic properties of cheese, if products made of cheese and other ingredients were made to meet the protein requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 96/5/EC, they would have too high a fat content and be unpalatable to infants and young children;
Whereas therefore the protein requirement for those products should be redefined;
Whereas the diverse culinary habits in the Community have resulted in the marketing of sauces used as accompaniment to a meal which are organoleptically important but not significant in nutrient contribution; whereas therefore these sauces should be exempt from the protein requirements in Annex II;
Whereas maximum levels for some substances added for nutritional purposes are laid down in the Annexes to Directive 96/5/EC; whereas Article 5 of Directive 96/5/EC provides that maximum levels, in addition to those already stipulated, should be laid down where necessary;

- prohibit trade in products which do not comply with this Directive with effect from 1 January 2000.
When Member States adopt these provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by Member States.
Article 3
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the proposals from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinions of the European Parliament (2),

Whereas a Commission proposal was forwarded to the Council on 19 March 1981 in order to amend certain provisions of Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15 February 1971 on health problems affecting trade in fresh poultrymeat (4), as last amended by Directive 84/186/EEC (5); whereas the object of this proposal is in particular to amend and clarify the inspection rules, to settle the problem of the financing of inspection costs and to postpone the date of expiry of the derogation mentioned in the third indent of Article 16a (a) concerning the slaughtering and evisceration of poultry, in order to extend this derogation from 15 August 1981 to 15 August 1986, in view of the fact that in certain Member States the production of partially eviscerated poultrymeat is still considerable;

Whereas, moreover, on 14 February 1979 the Commission forwarded to the Council a proposal aimed at extending the use of the chilling process to carcases intended for marketing in a chilled state;
Whereas it was agreed to postpone the date of expiry of the above derogations as a precautionary measure until the adoption of definitive Community rules on inspection costs arising from Directive 71/118/EEC, on the determination of the specific conditions of hygiene under which the so-called 'counter-flow' chilling process may be applied to fresh poultrymeat which is not immediately frozen or deep-frozen, and on the production and inspection of partially eviscerated poultry;
Whereas the Council has examined the Commission proposals on this point; whereas, pending the adoption of these proposals, the date on which the said derogations expire should be once more postponed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Directive 71/118/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the last sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 14 (2) '30 June 1984' is replaced by '31 December 1984'.

Article 2
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and adminisrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 30 June 1984. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
