THE POSITION OF DENMARK
Danske su odredbe stoga strože od odredbi Uredbe (EZ) br. 1333/2008 utoliko što određuju niže najveće dopuštene dodane količine za nekoliko vrsta proizvoda (u mnogim slučajevima 60 mg/kg) i utoliko što na temelju najvećih dopuštenih razina ostataka ne dopuštaju stavljanje na tržište određenih tradicionalnih mesnih proizvoda.
Denmark claims that its legislation ensures a higher level of protection of health and life of humans in that it lays down lower maximum added amounts for nitrites than the ones provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, and does not allow the placing on the market of traditional meat products for which no ingoing amounts can be established.
U skladu s člankom 114. stavkom 4.
Denmark points out that its provisions were laid down in full compliance with the opinions of the SCF made in 1990 and 1995 and also consider the provisions as justified in light of the opinion of EFSA of 26 November 2003 and of the Danish assessment of the most recent EFSA opinion of 15 June 2017.
UFEU-a obavijest je dopunjena opisom osnove za jednu ili više važnih potreba iz članka 36.
According to Denmark, the overall scientific assessment demonstrates that (a) the use of nitrites and nitrates should be reduced as far as possible by using differentiated amounts in line with the technical needs related to different foodstuffs, (b) the use of nitrites and nitrates should be regulated in terms of the amounts that are added rather than the residual amounts, and (c) the necessary preservation is achieved by using the amounts recommended by EFSA (2003).
UFEU-a, u ovom slučaju zaštite zdravlja i života ljudi.
In that respect, Denmark considers that its national provisions systematically follow these recommendations, whereas Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 does not as far as nitrites are concerned.
Memorandum danskog ministarstva okoliša i hrane i ažurirana procjena rizika Nacionalnog instituta za hranu DTU-a pružaju dodatne podatke o potrošnji i uvozu mesnih proizvoda, izloženosti nitritima, analizi nitritâ u mesnim proizvodima na danskom tržištu, učestalosti botulizma i stvaranju nitrozaminâ u prerađenim mesnim proizvodima.
Denmark considers that the concern about using the amounts of nitrites permitted under Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 relates in particular to the increased risk of the nitrosamines formation.
U svjetlu svega navedenog Komisija smatra da je prijava koju je dostavila Danska kako bi dobila odobrenje za zadržavanje svojih nacionalnih odredbi o uporabi nitritâ u mesnim proizvodima dopuštena u skladu s člankom 114. stavkom 4.
Contrary to the recent EFSA opinion, Denmark considers that the formation of both volatile and non-volatile nitrosamines depends on the amount of nitrites added whilst EFSA acknowledges the link only for the latter.
UFEU-a.
It has been scientifically proven that many volatile nitrosamines are carcinogenic and genotoxic and more recent epidemiological studies refer to the link between the consumption of meat products and the development of various forms of cancer.
PROCJENA KORISTI
This lends support to restrictions on the use of nitrites as additives.
U skladu s člankom 114. stavkom 4. i člankom 114. stavkom 6. prvim podstavkom UFEU-a Komisija se mora uvjeriti da su svi uvjeti kojima se državi članici omogućuje zadržavanje njezinih nacionalnih odredbi kojima se odstupa od Unijine mjere usklađivanja iz tog članka ispunjeni.
Denmark also points out that the margin up to the ADI is not large for young children, who have the highest exposure to nitrites under the current intake calculations for the Danish population.
Komisija posebno mora procijeniti jesu li nacionalne odredbe opravdane važnim potrebama navedenim u članku 36.
Denmark also stresses that its national provisions have been in place for many years and have never given rise to problems with the preservation of the products concerned.
UFEU-a ili su u vezi sa zaštitom okoliša ili radne okoline i da one ne premašuju ono što je potrebno kako bi se postigao namjeravani zakoniti cilj.
Moreover, it has a relatively low rate of botulism compared with other EU Member States, and not a single case caused by the consumption of meat products has been recorded since 1980.
Osim toga, kada Komisija smatra da nacionalne odredbe ispunjuju navedene uvjete, ona mora provjeriti, u skladu s člankom 114. stavkom 6.
Denmark notes that no cases of botulism have been recorded in Denmark since 2006.
UFEU-a jesu li one sredstvo proizvoljne diskriminacije ili prikrivenog ograničenja trgovine među državama članicama te stvaraju li prepreku funkcioniranju unutarnjeg tržišta.
Thus, the Danish provisions on the use of nitrites in meat products are still considered as providing comprehensive protection against food poisoning.
Potrebno je napomenuti da Komisija, u svjetlu vremenskog okvira utvrđenog člankom 114. stavkom 6.
The Memorandum of the Danish Ministry of Environment and Food provides additional data on the consumption and import of meat products, exposure to nitrites as well as on an analysis of nitrites in meat products on the Danish market.
UFEU-a, prilikom ispitivanja opravdanosti nacionalnih mjera o kojima je obaviještena u skladu s člankom 114. stavkom 4.
According to the Danish authorities, the comparison of the most recent data, i.e. between 2012 and 2014, demonstrates an increase in the consumption of meat products, including cold cuts, which contained added nitrites.
UFEU-a, mora kao temelj uzeti obrazloženja koja je navela država članica koja je poslala obavijest.
This has been in line with the trend observed since 2000 indicating that the Danes are becoming increasingly exposed to nitrites in meat products many of which are covered by the low limit value for nitrites of 60 mg/kg.
Teret dokazivanja snosi država članica koja podnosi zahtjev i koja želi zadržati svoje nacionalne mjere.
As regards trade, Denmark concludes that, during the period under review, the special Danish rules have not had a negative impact on imports of the selected products to Denmark, showing that imports increased by around 5 % from 2013 to 2016, if the figures for Germany are excluded.
Međutim kada Komisija raspolaže informacijama s obzirom na koje je možda potrebno revidirati Unijinu mjeru usklađivanja od koje prijavljene nacionalne odredbe odudaraju, ona može te informacije uzeti u obzir pri procjeni prijavljenih nacionalnih odredbi.
Based on the analysis of nitrite in meat products, Denmark claims that nitrite content in products imported to Denmark is no higher than that of Danish products.
POLOŽAJ DANSKE
Therefore, Denmark considers it legitimate to maintain the national rules for the use of nitrites in meat products which are more restrictive than the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008.
Danska tvrdi da njezino zakonodavstvo osigurava višu razinu zaštite zdravlja i života ljudi tako što propisuje niže najveće dopuštene dodane količine za nitrite nego što su propisane u Uredbi (EZ) br. 1333/2008 i ne dopušta stavljanje na tržište tradicionalnih mesnih proizvoda za koje se ne mogu ustanoviti ulazne količine.
According to Denmark, the monitoring carried out in accordance with Decision (EU) 2015/826 demonstrates that the health considerations previously taken into account are still valid.
Danska naglašava da su odredbe njezina zakonodavstva bile u potpunosti usklađene s mišljenjem SCF-a iz 1990. i 1995. i smatra te odredbe opravdanima i s obzirom na mišljenje EFSA-e od 26. studenoga 2003. i dansku procjenu najnovijeg mišljenja EFSA-e od 15. lipnja 2017.
Finally, it contends that the data available show that the Danish provisions do not constitute an obstacle to trade in the products concerned.
Prema mišljenju Danske, ukupne znanstvene procjene pokazuju da bi: (a) uporabu nitrita i nitrata trebalo što više smanjiti uporabom diferenciranih količina u skladu s tehničkim potrebama povezanima s različitim vrstama hrane, (b) uporabu nitrita i nitrata trebalo regulirati u skladu s količinama koje se dodaju, a ne u skladu s količinama ostataka i (c) potrebno konzerviranje trebalo postići uporabom količina koje preporučuje EFSA (2003.).
EVALUATION OF DANISH POSITION
U tom pogledu Danska smatra da njezine nacionalne odredbe sustavno poštuju te preporuke, dok to Uredba (EZ) br. 1333/2008 ne čini u pogledu nitritâ.
Justification on grounds of major needs referred to in Article 36 TFEU
Danska smatra da se zabrinutost u pogledu uporabe količina nitrita dopuštenih u skladu s Uredbom (EZ) br. 1333/2008 posebno odnosi na povećan rizik od stvaranja nitrozaminâ.
The Danish legislation aims to achieve a higher level of protection of health and life of humans with regard to exposure to nitrites and the possible formation of nitrosamines in meat products, by specifying lower maximum added amounts of nitrite in relation to certain meat products, when compared with the maximum levels provided under Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 and not allowing the placing on the market of products for which only maximum residual levels can be established.
Suprotno najnovijem mišljenju EFSA-e, Danska smatra da stvaranje i hlapljivih i nehlapljivih nitrozamina ovisi o količini dodanih nitrita, dok EFSA smatra da ta veza postoji samo kod nehlapljivih nitrozamina.
When assessing whether the Danish legislation is actually adequate and necessary for achieving this objective, a number of factors need to be taken into account.
Znanstveno je dokazano da su mnogi hlapljivi nitrozamini kancerogeni i genotoksični, dok novije epidemiološke studije upućuju na vezu između potrošnje mesnih proizvoda i razvoja različitih oblika raka.
In particular, two health risks need to be balanced, the presence of nitrosamines in meat products on the one hand, and the microbiological safety of meat products on the other.
To ide u prilog ograničenjima za uporabu nitritâ kao aditiva.
The latter aspect is more than a mere technological need, but a highly relevant health concern in its own right.
Danska također naglašava da granična vrijednost PDU-a nije velika za malu djecu, koja su, prema sadašnjem izračunu za dansko stanovništvo, najizloženija nitritima.
While it is recognised that the levels of nitrites in meat products need to be limited, lower levels of nitrite in meat will not automatically lead to a higher protection of human health.
Danska ujedno naglašava da njezine nacionalne odredbe postoje već mnogo godina i da nikada nije bilo problema s konzerviranjem predmetnih proizvoda.
The most appropriate level of nitrite depends on a number of factors acknowledged in the relevant opinions of the SCF and EFSA, e.g. the addition of salt, moisture, pH, shelf-life of the product, hygiene, temperature control, etc.
Nadalje, ona ima relativno nisku stopu botulizma u usporedbi s drugim državama članicama EU-a, a od 1980. nije zabilježen ni jedan slučaj uzrokovan potrošnjom mesnih proizvoda.
The Commission has to evaluate the specific choices made by the Danish regulator and the experience made with these rules, which have been in force for a considerable period of time.
Danska napominje da u Danskoj od 2006. nije zabilježen ni jedan slučaj botulizma.
Through the figures it provided on the occurrence of food poisoning and, in particular, botulism, Denmark has demonstrated that it has achieved satisfactory results with its legislation so far.
Stoga se još uvijek smatra da danske odredbe o uporabi nitritâ u mesnim proizvodima pružaju sveobuhvatnu zaštitu od otrovanja hranom.
In general, the data show that the maximum levels specified in the Danish legislation appear to have been sufficient to ensure the microbiological safety of the meat products currently made in Denmark and the production methods currently used in Denmark.
U memorandumu danskog Ministarstva okoliša i hrane pruženi su dodatni podaci o potrošnji i uvozu mesnih proizvoda, izloženosti nitritima te analizi nitritâ u mesnim proizvodima na danskom tržištu.
In contrast to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 which lays down maximum residual levels at the end of the production process for certain specified traditional cured meat products, the Danish provisions do not contain any exceptions to the principle of fixing maximum added amounts.
Prema danskim tijelima, usporedba najnovijih podataka (od 2012. do 2014.) pokazuje povećanje potrošnje mesnih proizvoda, uključujući nareske, koji sadržavaju dodane nitrite.
This also applies to brine-cured meat products for which it is usually not possible to control the ingoing amount of curing salts absorbed.
To je u skladu s kretanjima zabilježenima od 2000. koja pokazuju da su Danci sve izloženiji nitritima u mesnim proizvodima, od kojih su mnogi obuhvaćeni donjom graničnom vrijednosti za nitrite od 60 mg/kg.
According to the data submitted, Denmark monitors the addition of nitrites to brine-cured meat products by taking samples as close as possible to the point of manufacture in order to obtain the most realistic picture of the added quantity of nitrite.
U pogledu trgovine Danska zaključuje da tijekom razmatranog razdoblja posebni danski propisi nisu negativno utjecali na uvoz odabranih proizvoda u Dansku, što je vidljivo iz podatka da se uvoz u razdoblju 2013.–2016. povećao za oko 5 %, izuzmu li se podaci za Njemačku.
However, the results of two inspection campaigns at retail butchers show the Danish limits being exceeded in almost 35 % of the brine-cured samples in 2014 and 19 % in 2016.
Na temelju analize nitrita u mesnim proizvodima Danska tvrdi da sadržaj nitrita u proizvodima uvezenima u Dansku nije viši od onoga u danskim proizvodima.
The Danish authorities therefore provide further guidance to retail butchers on the rules and factors that are significant to the absorption of nitrite during brine curing.
Stoga Danska smatra legitimnim zadržati nacionalne propise za uporabu nitritâ u mesnim proizvodima, koji su restriktivniji od zahtjeva iz Uredbe (EZ) br. 1333/2008.
This should be further followed up and monitored that Denmark can confirm the compliance and therefore adequacy of the national provisions for these products.
Prema mišljenju Danske, praćenje provedeno u skladu s Odlukom (EU) 2015/826 pokazuje da pitanja zdravlja koja su prethodno uzeta u obzir i dalje vrijede.
The Commission notes that the Danish legislation, which is compatible with the relevant scientific opinions of the Union's scientific bodies, is based on a regulation of maximum added values and respects the ranges of added amounts of nitrite referred to in these opinions, i.e. 50-150 mg/kg.
Naposljetku, Danska navodi da dostupni podaci pokazuju da danske odredbe nisu prepreka trgovini predmetnim proizvodima.
At the same time, Denmark has established more specific maximum added amounts for particular groups of meat products, compared with the Regulation, in light of the types of meat products and manufacturing methods prevailing in Denmark.
OCJENA DANSKOG STAJALIŠTA
In addition, it must be considered that, according to information provided by Denmark, the bulk of the meat products consumed by the Danish population relates to meat products for which there is currently a limit of 60 mg/kg and which would have to be replaced with a limit of 100 or 150 mg/kg.
Opravdanost na osnovi važnih potreba iz članka 36.
Although Danish manufacturers, like manufacturers in other Member States, would not be obliged to raise the amounts of nitrites currently added to their products to the maximum levels referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, an increase of the actual exposure of the Danish population to nitrites cannot be excluded.
UFEU-a
On the basis of the information available at the moment, the Commission considers that the request to maintain the notified measures can be temporarily accepted on grounds of protection of public health in Denmark.
Cilj je danskog zakonodavstva postići višu razinu zaštite zdravlja i života ljudi u pogledu izloženosti nitritima i mogućeg stvaranja nitrozaminâ u mesnim proizvodima određivanjem niže najveće dopuštene dodane količine nitrita za određene mesne proizvode u usporedbi s najvećim dopuštenim razinama propisanima Uredbom (EZ) br. 1333/2008 i nedopuštanjem stavljanja na tržište proizvoda za koje je moguće utvrditi samo najveće dopuštene razine ostataka.
Absence of any arbitrary discrimination, any disguised restriction of trade between Member States or any obstacle to the functioning of the internal market
Pri procjeni jesu li danski propisi doista odgovarajući i neophodni za postizanje tog cilja potrebno je u obzir uzeti niz čimbenika.
Absence of arbitrary discrimination
Posebice je potrebno da dva zdravstvena rizika, s jedne strane prisutnost nitrozaminâ u mesnim proizvodima, a s druge strane mikrobiološka sigurnost mesnih proizvoda, budu u ravnoteži.
Article 114(6) TFEU obliges the Commission to verify that the envisaged measures are not a means of arbitrary discrimination.
Posljednji aspekt nije samo pitanje obične tehnološke potrebe već i vrlo važno zdravstveno pitanje.
According to the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice, in order for there to be no discrimination, similar situations must not be treated in different ways and different situations must not be treated in the same way.
Iako se priznaje da je razine nitritâ u mesnim proizvodima potrebno ograničiti, niže razine nitrita u mesu neće automatski dovesti do veće zaštite ljudskog zdravlja.
The Danish national rules apply to both domestic products and products made in other Member States.
Najprikladnija razina nitrita ovisi o nizu čimbenika priznatih u relevantnim mišljenjima SCF-a i EFSA-e, tj. o dodatku soli, vlazi, pH-u, roku valjanosti proizvoda, higijeni, kontroli temperature itd.
In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, it can be concluded that the national provisions are not a means of arbitrary discrimination.
Komisija mora procijeniti konkretne odluke danskog regulatora i iskustvo stečeno na temelju tih propisa, koji su na snazi već dulje vrijeme.
Absence of a disguised restriction on trade
Danska je brojkama koje je dostavila o učestalosti trovanja hranom, a posebice botulizma, pokazala da je svojim zakonodavstvom do sada postigla zadovoljavajuće rezultate.
National measures which restrict the use of products to a greater extent than a Union Regulation would normally constitute a barrier to trade, in so far as products that are legally placed on the market and used in the rest of the Union are not expected, as a result of the prohibition on use, to be placed on the market in the Member State concerned.
Načelno, ti podaci pokazuju da su najveće dopuštene razine navedene u danskom zakonodavstvu izgleda bile dovoljne da osiguraju mikrobiološku sigurnost mesnih proizvoda koji se trenutačno proizvode u Danskoj i načina proizvodnje koji se trenutačno upotrebljavaju u Danskoj.
The pre-conditions laid down in Article 114(6) TFEU are intended to prevent restrictions based on the criteria set out in paragraphs (4) and (5) thereof from being applied for inappropriate reasons, and constituting in effect economic measures to impede the importation of products from other Member States, that is to say, a means of indirectly protecting national production.
Za razliku od Uredbe (EZ) br. 1333/2008 kojom se utvrđuju najveće dopuštene razine ostataka na kraju postupka proizvodnje za određene specificirane tradicionalne salamurene mesne proizvode, u danskim odredbama nema iznimki od načela utvrđivanja najvećih dopuštenih dodanih količina.
Given that the Danish rules also impose stricter standards on the addition of nitrites to certain meat products on operators based in other Member States in an otherwise harmonised area, they are liable to constitute a disguised restriction of trade or an obstacle to the functioning of the internal market.
To se odnosi i na salamurene mesne proizvode za koje obično nije moguće kontrolirati ulaznu količinu soli za soljenje koju meso apsorbira.
It is recognised, however, that Article 114(6) TFEU must be read in the sense that only national measures constituting a disproportionate obstacle to the internal market may not be approved.
Prema dostavljenim podacima, Danska prati dodavanje nitritâ salamurenim mesnim proizvodima tako što provodi uzorkovanje što je moguće bliže mjestu proizvodnje, kako bi stekla što realnija saznanja o dodanim količinama nitrita.
In this connection, Denmark has submitted figures which indicate that imports of selected meat products from other Member States have increased during the period 1994-2016 and have been stable in the period 2013-2016.
Međutim, rezultati dviju inspekcijskih kampanja provedenih u mesnicama pokazuju prekoračenje količina dopuštenih u Danskoj u gotovo 35 % uzoraka salamurenih mesnih proizvoda u 2014. te 19 % u 2016.
In the absence of any evidence suggesting that the national provisions constitute in effect a measure intended to protect national production, it can be concluded that they are not a disguised restriction to trade between Member States.
Stoga danska tijela mesnicama pružaju dodatne smjernice o propisima i važnim čimbenicima u pogledu apsorpcije nitrita tijekom salamurenja.
Absence of obstacles to the functioning of the internal market
Danska bi trebala nastaviti pratiti i nadzirati situaciju kako bi potvrdila usklađenost i shodno tome primjerenost nacionalnih odredbi za te proizvode.
This condition cannot be interpreted in such a way that it precludes the approval of any national measure likely to affect the functioning of the internal market.
Komisija napominje da se dansko zakonodavstvo, koje je usklađeno s relevantnim znanstvenim mišljenjima znanstvenih tijela Unije, temelji na reguliranju najvećih dopuštenih dodanih vrijednosti i da poštuje raspone dodanih količina nitrita koji se navode u tim mišljenjima, tj.
Indeed, any national measure derogating from a harmonisation measure aimed at the establishment and operation of the internal market constitutes in substance a measure likely to affect the internal market.
50–150 mg/kg.
Consequently, in order to preserve the useful character of the procedure laid down in Article 114 TFEU, the concept of obstacle to the functioning of the internal market must, in the context of Article 114(6) TFEU, be understood as a disproportionate effect in relation to the pursued objective.
Istodobno, Danska je ustanovila specifičnije najveće dopuštene dodane količine za posebne skupine mesnih proizvoda nego što je to slučaj u Uredbi, s obzirom na vrste mesnih proizvoda i načine proizvodnje uobičajene u Danskoj.
Given the health benefits invoked by the Danish government in relation to the reduction of exposure to nitrites in meat products and the fact that, on the basis of currently available information, trade does not appear to be affected at all or only to a very limited extent, the Commission considers that the notified Danish rules may temporarily continue to be maintained on grounds relating to the protection of health and life of humans having regard to the fact that they are not disproportionate and do, therefore, not constitute an obstacle to the functioning of the internal market in the sense of Article 114(6) TFEU.
Osim toga, potrebno je uzeti u obzir da, u skladu s informacijama koje je Danska dostavila, većinu mesnih proizvoda koje dansko stanovništvo troši čine mesni proizvodi za koje gornja granica trenutačno iznosi 60 mg/kg i trebalo bi je zamijeniti gornjom granicom od 100 ili 150 mg/kg.
In the light of this analysis, the Commission considers that the condition relating to the absence of obstacles to the functioning of the internal market is fulfilled.
Iako danski proizvođači kao ni proizvođači u drugim državama članicama ne bi bili obvezni podići razine nitritâ koje trenutačno dodaju svojim proizvodima do najvećih dopuštenih razina iz Uredbe (EZ) br. 1333/2008, povećanje stvarne izloženosti danskog stanovništva nitritima ne može se isključiti.
The above conclusions are based on the currently available information and, in particular, on information indicating that Denmark has been able to control botulism despite lower maximum levels of nitrite added to particular types of meat products, while not disrupting trade in a disproportionate fashion.
Odsutnost proizvoljne diskriminacije, prikrivenog ograničenja trgovine među državama članicama ili bilo kakve prepreke funkcioniranju unutarnjeg tržišta
