Title: PROPOSAL FOR A COUNCIL DIRECTIVE AMENDING DIRECTIVE 89/396/EEC ON INDICATIONS OR MARKS IDENTIFYING THE LOT TO WHICH A FOODSTUFF BELONGS

23. 10. 90                           Official Journal of the European Communities                           No C 267/15
           Proposal for a Council Directive amending Directive 89/396/EEC on indications or marks
                                    identifying the lot to which a foodstuff belongs
                                             COM(90) 440 final — SYN 304
                                   (Submitted by the Commission on 5 October 1990)
                                                      (90/C 267/09)
           THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
           Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in
           particular Article 100a thereof,
           Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
           In cooperation with the European Parliament,
           Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee,
           Whereas it is necessary to take account of the fact that the immediate consumption on
           purchase of certain foodstuffs such as ice-cream in individual portions means that indicating
           the lot directly on the individual packaging would serve no useful purpose; whereas Council
           Directive 89/396/EEC (') should therefore be amended;
           Whereas, however, it is compulsory in the case of these products to indicate the lot on the
           combined package,
           HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
                                                         Article 1
           In Article 2 (2) of Directive 89/396/EEC the following point (d) is hereby added:
                '(d) to individual portions of ice cream, provided that the lot is indicated on the combined
                     packages.'
                                                         Article 2
           This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
