Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the ‘Proposal for a European Parliament and
Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling,
presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (codified version)’

(1999/C 258/03)

On 17 May 1999 the Council decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under Article 95
of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above mentioned proposal.

The Section for Agriculture, Rural Development and the Environment, which was responsible for
preparing the Committee’s work on the subject, adopted its opinion on 1 June 1999. The rapporteur was
Mr Jaschick.

At its 365th plenary session (meeting of 7 July 1999), the Economic and Social Committee adopted the
following opinion by 98 votes to one, with four abstentions.

1.
This legislative consolidation proposal was drawn up on
the basis of a preliminary consolidation, in all the official
languages, of Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December
1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States
relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of food-
stuffs and the instruments amending it. The new directive will
supersede the various directives incorporated in the consoli-
dation.

2.
The Economic and Social Committee welcomes the
Commission proposal, since the consolidation corresponds
to the need for Community law to be clear and transparent.
An examination of the text has shown that the Commission
proposal contains no substantive changes, but only formal
changes made necessary by the actual process of consoli-
dation.
