amending Directive 2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt used in the manufacture of food supplements
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 June 2002 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to food supplements (1), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Directive 2002/46/EC establishes the list of vitamin and mineral substances, and for each of them the forms, which may be used in the manufacture of food supplements. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1170/2009 (2) has replaced Annexes I and II to Directive 2002/46/EC.
(2) According to Article 14 of Directive 2002/46/EC, provisions on vitamin and mineral substances in food supplements which may have an effect upon public health are to be adopted after consultation with the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’).
(3) Following a request for the addition of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt as a source of folate to the list set out in Annex II to Directive 2002/46/EC, the Authority adopted on 11 September 2013 a Scientific Opinion on (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt as a source of folate added for nutritional purposes to food supplements and the bioavailability of folate from this source (3).
(4) It follows from the Authority's opinion that the use of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt in food supplements is not of safety concern as a source of folate.
(5) Following the Authority's favourable opinion, (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt should be added to the list set out in Annex II to Directive 2002/46/EC.
(6) (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt is a novel food ingredient the placing on the market of which has been authorised by Commission Implementing Decision 2014/154/EU (4).
(7) Interested parties were consulted through the Advisory Group on the Food Chain and Animal and Plant Health and the comments provided were taken into consideration.
(8) Directive 2002/46/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
In Annex II to Directive 2002/46/EC the following point (c) is added in Heading 10 (FOLATE) of Section A:
‘(c) (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas, by letter dated 23 February 1983, the United Kingdom requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Hitachi - Transmission Electron Microscope, model H700H, with scanning attachment and X-ray energy dispersive detector', ordered on 30 October 1980 and intended to be used in electron microscopy of synthetic polymers, as analytical and imaging facilities, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 5 July 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a microscope; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the resolution power, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'EM400T with STEM-unit' manufactured by Philips Nederland BV, Boschdijk 525, NL-Eindhoven, in combination with the 'Si(Li) Detector' manufactured by Link Systems Ltd, Halifax Road, UK-High Wycombe, Bucks.
