Amended  proposal  for  a Council  Directive  amending  for  the  seventh  time  Directive 
73/241/EEC  on the approximation  of the  laws  of the  Member  States  relating  to cocoa 
and chocolate  products  intended  for human  consumption  (') 
(Submitted  by the Commission  to the Council  on 25 March  1980) 
THE  COUNCIL  OF THE  EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the 
European  Economic  Community,  and  in particular 
Article  100  thereof, 
Having  regard  to the proposal  from  the Commission, 
Having  regard  to the  opinion  of the  European  Par-
liament, 
Having  regard  to the  opinion  of the  Economic  and 
Social  Committee, 
Whereas,  pursuant  to paragraph  2 (b) (iii)  of Annex  II 
to Council  Directive  73/241/EEC  (2),  as  last 
amended  by  Directive  78/842/EEC  (3),  Member 
States  can  retain  until  20 June  1979  any  national 
provisions  authorizing  the use in cocoa  and  chocolate 
products  of  the  emulsifiers  listed  in paragraph 
2 (a) (iii)  of that  Annex; 
(•) OJ No C 121,  15. 5. 1979,  p. 7. 
(2) OJ No L 228,  16. 8. 1973,  p. 23. 
(5) OJ No L 291,  17. 10. 1978,  p. 15. Whereas  the  Council  may  decide  to transfer  such 
substances  to Annex  I to Directive  73/241/EEC,  i.e. 
to authorize  their  general  use  throughout  the 
Community; 
Whereas  this  option  should  be used  in respect  of 
ammonium  phosphatides  (ammonium  salts  of 
phosphatide  acids);  whereas  use  of such  substances 
offers  technological  advantages  since  they  do not 
alter  the  organoleptic  properties  of the  cocoa  and 
chocolate  products  to which  they  are added; 
Whereas  the  authorization  to  use  ammonium 
phosphatides  does  not  pose  any  danger  to public 
health  since,  pursuant  to  the  rule  set  out  in 
Annex  I (6) concerning  lecithins,  this  authorization  is 
accompanied  by the stipulation  of a total  phosphatide 
level  which  must  not  be exceeded  in the  finished 
product  and  which  is fixed  by taking  into  account  the 
natural  phosphatide  content  of cocoa  beans; 
Whereas  the  specific  purity  criteria  relating  to 
lecithins  were  defined  in  Council  Directive 
78/664/EEC  of 25 July  1978  laying  down  specific 
purity  criteria  for anti-oxidants  which  may  be used  in 
foodstuffs  intended  for human  consumption  (');
