Proposal foraCouncil Directive ontheapproximation ofthelaws of

cellulose film intended tocome into contact with foodstuffs
THECOUNCIL OFTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community ,
andinparticular Article 100thereof ,
Having regard toDirective 76/893/EECof23November 1976 "the -

Article 3thereof ,
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
Having regard totheOpinion oftheEuropean Parliament , '
■ . 1 • '
Having regard totheOpinion oftheEconomic andSocial Committee ,
Whereas Article 2ofDirective 76/893/EEClays down that materials and
articles must nottransfer their constituents tofoodstuffs inquantities
which could endanger human health orbring about anunacceptable change
inthecomposition ofthefoodstuffs ;
Whereas ,inorder toachieve this objective inthe case ofregenerated
cellulose film ,asuitable instrument isaspecific Directive within the
meaning ofArticle 3ofDirective 76/893/EEC,thegeneral provisions ofwhich
arealso applicable tothecase inquestion ;
Whereas synthetic casings ofRegenerated cellulose should besubject to
specific provisions;'
Whereas themethod fordetermining theabsence ofmigration ofcolouring
.1
matters should beestablished atalater stage :
X0JNoL340,9.12.1976 .P.19

Whereas,until criteria ofpurity andmethods ofanalysis have been drawn up,
national provisions will remain inforce ;
Whereas the establishment ofalist ofapproved substances ,accompanied ■
bymaximum percentage levels ofthequantities tobeused ,will be
sufficient inthis specific case toachieve theobjective laid down
inArticle 2ofDirective 76/893/EEC;
Whereas ,toprotect thehealth oftheconsumer ,direct contact between
foodstuffs and the printed surfaces ofregenerated cellulose film should
 
beavoided ;
Whereas fixing theprocedure forthedetermination ofpossible migration in
oronfoodstuffs ofcolouring matters used inthemanufacture ofregenerated
cellulose film isanimplementing measure ofatechnical nature andtherefore ,
inorder tosimplify andaccelerate theprocedur e,thisshould bethe
responsibility ofthe Commission ;
Whereas ,inall cases inwhich the Council confers onthe Commission
authority toimplement the rules relating tomaterials andarticles

Description ofregenerated cellulose film
Regenerated cellulose 'film isathin sheet material produced bychemically "
dissolving aderivate ofhighly refined cellulose obtained from wood or
cotton that have hotbeen recycled ,andsubsequently regenerating thepure cellulose
bychemical precipitation .Tomeet technical requirements ,suitable additives are
incorporated ,either inthemass oronthesurface .Regenerated cellulose film
can becoated onone orboth sides . '
