Directive 2003/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 18 June 2003
amending Directive 95/2/EC as regards the conditions of use for a food additive E 425 konjac
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 95/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners(4) authorises the use of the food additive E 425 konjac in foodstuffs under certain conditions.
(2) The Commission has taken measures to suspend temporarily the placing on the market of jelly mini-cups containing E 425 konjac because they have been found to be dangerous as they have caused the death of several children and elderly persons in third countries through choking.
(3) Some manufacturers of jelly mini-cups recognise the risk to human health by affixing a warning on the food package, highlighting the risk for children and the elderly.
(4) On the basis of the information provided by the Member States which adopted measures at national level, it can be concluded that jelly mini-cups containing E 425 konjac constitute a life-threatening risk. In addition to their shape and size, the chemical and physical properties of konjac are the cause for jelly mini-cups to constitute a serious risk to human health.
(5) In the present case, warning through labelling is not sufficient to protect human health, especially with regard to children.
(6) It is necessary to modify the conditions of use for E 425 konjac as regards its use in jelly confectionery, including jelly-mini cups.
(7) Directive 95/2/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
In Annex IV to Directive 95/2/EC in the row for E 425: Konjac: (i) Konjac gum (ii) Konjac glucomannane the text "Foodstuffs in general (except those referred to in Article 2(3))" shall be replaced by the text "Foodstuffs in general (except those referred to in Article 2(3) and jelly confectionery including jelly-mini-cups)".
Article 2
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 17 January 2004. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt those measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
Article 3
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 418/96 (2) and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas Article 11 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 stipulates that products which are imported from a third country may be marketed only where they originate from a third country appearing in a list drawn up in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraph 2 of that Article; whereas such a list has been laid down in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 94/92 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 522/96 (4);

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1215/2005
of 28 July 2005
amending Regulation (EC) No 1990/2004 laying down transitional measures in the wine sector by reason of the accession of Hungary to the European Union
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 27(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1) lays down that any natural or legal person or group of persons having made wine is required to deliver for distillation all the by-products of that winemaking.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms (2) establishes the rules applicable to such distillation and Article 49 thereof provides for certain exceptions to that obligation.
(3)
Hungary has adopted the measures needed to implement this distillation obligation, but there has been a delay in the construction of new distilleries to process the by-products of winemaking. Consequently, part of the by-products of the 2004/05 wine year will be distilled in 2005/06. Nevertheless, existing capacity is not yet sufficient to distil all the by-products of both wine years simultaneously.
(4)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1990/2004 (3) authorises Hungary to exempt certain categories of producers from the obligation to distil by-products of wine-making for the 2004/05 wine year. In view of the situation described above, that authorisation should be extended to the 2005/06 marketing year.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 1990/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1990/2004, ‘for the 2004/2005 marketing year’ is hereby replaced by ‘for the 2004/2005 and 2005/06 marketing years’.

Whereas:
(1) Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 provides that the Commission is to determine the overrun in the maximum guaranteed area and to fix the definitive aid for the marketing year in question.
