designedtoharmonizetheseprovisions.
2.1.Themeasuresproposedtoachievefreemovementfortheseproducts

-introduction ofacommonterminologytoavoidthedangerofconfusion }
-classification ofthevariousproductsinaccordancewiththistermi­
nologyandonthebasisoftheircontents;
-attributionofasingleprescribeddesignationtoeachproduct,to
enr,bleconsumerstodistinguish betweenthevariousqualities.

2.2.This approach -totheproblem vrasingeneral approved torthesixmembers
oftheoriginal Community .Nevertheless ,asaresult ofpersistant
disagreement between thedelegations oncertain points ofdetail ,the
Council was unable toissue the directive .
3»ftielast discussions held bytheCouncil ontheCommission 'sproposal took
place early in1971 «Since then ,howover ,thesituation haschanged intwo
respects :
••atCommunity level ,bytheaccession ofthethree newMember States ;
-atinternational level ,bytheactivities oftheCodex Alimentarius
(Joint FAO/WHOProgramme onstandards forfoodstuffs ).
3.1.Intheco-ordination report submitted totheCouncil fortheeleventh
session oftheCodex Committee ,onprocessed fruits andvegetables ('!),
theCommission noted that theclassification hitherto proposed forthe
, Codex would notbefound satisfactory byasufficiently large majority
ofcountries ;furthermore theconsensus reached within theoriginal
Community hadbeen invalidated "bythefact that incortain newMember
:'States ,customs regarding both manufacture andconsumption differed .
appreciably from those intheStates oftheoriginal Community .,
Thereport concluded that theclassification system would have tobe
rethought ,both topromote theadoption of -theCodex standards and
progressively tointegrate these newprovisions into Community ,
3.2.Before drawing upitscoordination report ,theCommission gathered
opinions from both trade circles andconsumers atCommunity level ,
which enabled ittoputforward newsuggestions which were breadly
■approved bythese organizations .•
TheMember States also gave their approval (2)totheprinciple on
which these now -suggestions were based .'

Generalprovisions
TobetterunderstandthesolutionsproposedhereinbytheCommission,it
shouldbenotedthattwomaintypesofproductionexistonthemarketsof
theenlargedCommunity.
4.1.IncertainMemberStates,productsdescribedas"jam","marmalade"
or"jelly"usuallyfallwithinonecftisocategoriesaccordingto
fruitcontent,thatvriththehighestpercentageoffruitqualifying
forthedesignation "extra"(firstquality)#Inaddition,theterms
"jam"and"marmalade"relatetoproductsobtainedfromtheentire
edibleportionofthefruitirrespective ofthevarietyused,whilst
theword"jelly"referstothemoreorlesstranslucent product
obtainedsolelyfromfl-uitjuices.
4.2.InotherMemberStates,especiallytheUnitedKingdom,legislation
makesacleardistinction betweenproductsmadefromcitrusfruit
andthosemadefromfruitsbelongingtootherbotanicalspecies.The
term"marmalade"appliesonlytotheformer,whilstthelatterare
mostoftencalled"jam"or"jolly".
Inthesecountries,athresholdlevelappliestothefruitcontentof
thefinishedproduct,butnodifferentclassifications existcorres­
pondingtohigherorlowerfruitcontent.

4»3 »Itshould also "benoted that inDenmark theexpression "marmalade "
<• applies toallpulp products irrespective ofthetype offruit used .
Thepresent amended proposal isdesigned toharmonise these differing
legislative provisions onthebasis ofcriteria breadly accepted bythe
Commission inthe various fields inrelation tothe removal oftechnical
barriers totrade ,
5.1.Itshould berecalled that theprimary objective oftheharmoniBation
oflaws istoenable thefree movement ofproduots insectors in
which.it ishindered bytheapplication ofdivergent national provi­
sions . , ■
Asageneral rule ,nochanges should berequired inexisting national
products ,thedesired effect being tobroaden therange ofproducts
which canbeoffered toconsumers andnot-ashasbeen suggested -to
banproducts legally admitted tothedomestio market inoneormore
Member States *
5.1.1 .Ifthis principle were strictly applied ,allproducts atpresent
••manufactured ormarketed inone oranother Member State would
>
have tobelisted intherelated Community Directive ,thus
admitting allmerchandise ,from whatever 1part oftheCommunity
market ,tofree movement throughout theCommunity .
» - • ,
However ,feuch asolution does notalways correspond with reality
infact ,some products arenotsubject tointraoomraunity
exchanges ,andothers arenotacceptable inallMember States
forpublic health orsecurity reasons .Allthese products
continue tobesubject tothenational legislation oftheMember
State inwhich they areadmitted .

Spécifieaspects
Inthelightofthegeneralprinciplesnotoutabove,theCommission
proposestoapplythedirectivetoacertainnumberofproductsonlyand
toleaveexistingnationallegislationunaffectedinrespeotoftheothers.
6.1*Asageneralrule,productsnotcorresponding tothestandardslaid
downinthedirectivecancontinuetobemanufactured undernational
lawsandinaccordancewithlabellingregulations.Inthiswayother
typesofproductsmanufactured fromfruitsandsugars,butnothaving

thejelled consistency normally .given tojams ,jellies andmarmalades
would continue to "besubject totheprovisions ofnational legislations .
6.2.With regard tothedefinitions toappear intheDirective ,theCom­
mission "believes that theCommunity should ensure free movement for
thefollowing products tovrhich thedirective will apply :
-products with ahigh fruit orfruit juice content (first quality );
-products having alower fruit orfruit juice content (standard
quality );
-"marmalaue "made from citrus fruits .
Asregards this last product ,thedesignation "marmalade "should be
applied toitexclusively ,except inDenmark vrhere theterm isused
inageneric sense andcannot "bereplaced byanyother . .
Chestnut puree ,chiefly manufactured inthesouthern regions ,should
also bepermitted tomove freely within theCommunity andshould thus
becovered bytheDirective , ■
Theproducts towhich theDirective will apply arelisted inArticle 1.
Hiedefinitions applying tothem appear inAnnex I.
7.1 .Theproposed values forminimum fruit content correspond tothose
under consideration for the Codex Aliment arius ,Hie future directive
will thus have theeffect notonly ofeliminating barriers ,tointra –
Community trade ,butalso offacilitating international trade .
Toprovide better information forconsumers ,theCommission proposes
that fruit content should bestated onlabels .
7.2.Begarding thepercentage ofsoluble drymatter contained infinished
products ,theCommission proposes togobeyond thelimit of65%
under consideration fortheCodex Alimentarius (though products confor­
ming tothi3 standard could ,ofcourse ,move freely within the
Community ).
Certain types ofproduct having arelatively lowsugar content exist
intheCommunity ,These have appreciable advantages from thenutritional

point ofview ascarbohydrate consumption isreduced .Since thefree
movement ofgoods istheobjective ,itwould seem advisable toinclude
them inthe Directive .
Itshould however berecognised that inmost Member States ,theterms
"jam",jelly "and "marmalade "areused solely forproducts whose
conservation isensured exclusively bythemanufacturing processes
employed andbytheuseofsugar ,totheexclusion oftheuseofany
artificial preservatives .Furthermore ,products with alowsugar content
have only appeared relatively recently onthemarket anditislikely
that industrial development inthis sphere isnotyetcomplete .
Consequently ,theCommission considers that thefacultative character
oftheDirective should bemaintained with regard totheminimum quan­
tity ofsoluble drymatter ,while providing aguideline forfuture
development .Thesolution adopted inthis proposal therefore isto
authorize Member States ,inaninitial stage ,torestrict thefree
movement ,under thedesignations prescribed intheDirective ,tothe
products whose conservation isensured without theuseofartificial
preservatives .Prom atechnical point ofview ,artificial preservatives
arenotrequired forthose products with 63%ormore soluble drymatter .
With alower content itisfrequently necessary touseartificial pre­
servatives .Therefore theproposal makes provision forthe ilember States
to.authorize' theuseofthedesignations prescribed intheDirective
forproducts with acontent ofless than 63%soluble drymatter at
thesame time defining thechemical preservative intheproduct .A
subsequent examination will bemade toascertain whether andinwhat
conditions such ameasure could beextended totheCommunity asawhole
inorder toensure free movement foralltheproducts covered bythe
eeotor under review .
Thenewproposal follows theugual form fordirectives ontheharmo­
nization offoodstuffs legislation .
