THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and
in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerningfood additives authorized for use in foodstuffs intended for humanconsumption (
1), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (3),
After consultation of the Scientific Committee for Food,Acting in accordance withth e procedure referred to in Article 189b of
the Treaty (
4),
Whereas differences between national laws relating to sweeteners and
their conditions of use hinder the free movement of foodstuffs; whereasthis situation may create conditions of unfair competition;
Whereas the prime consideration for any rules on sweeteners and their
conditions of use should be the need to protect and inform theconsumer;
Whereas, having regard to the most recent scientific and toxicological
information, these substances are to be permitted only for certain food-
stuffs and under certain conditions of use;
Whereas this Directive does not affect rules relating to functions other
than the sweetening properties of the substances covered by this Direc-tive;
Whereas the use of sweeteners to replace sugar is justified for the
production of energy-reduced food, non-cariogenic foodstuffs or foodwithout added sugars, for the extension of shelf life through the repla-
cement of sugar, and for the production of dietetic products,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
1. This Directive is a specific directive forming a part of the
