amending Regulation (EC) No 2597/97 laying down additional rules on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products for drinking milk
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2597/97 (2) sets up the products to be considered drinking milk, in particular with regard to their fat content.
(2) In order to facilitate the changeover from existing pre-accession national rules to Community rules, several transitional derogations have been adopted on the occasion of recent accessions.
(3) Taking into account various consumer habits in different Member States as well as the expiring derogations, it seems appropriate to allow the marketing, as drinking milk, of products with a fat content other than the existing three categories.
(4) In order to provide clarity for the consumers, such milk should however not be called whole milk, semi-skimmed milk or skimmed milk but have its fat content percentage clearly indicated on the packaging.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 2597/97 should be amended accordingly,
The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2597/97:
‘Heat treated milk not complying with the fat content requirements laid down in points (b), (c) and (d) of the first subparagraph shall be considered drinking milk provided that the fat content is clearly indicated with one decimal and easily readable on the packaging in the form of “… % fat”. Such milk shall not be described as whole milk, semi-skimmed milk or skimmed milk.’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2008.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 10 September 1999
concerning a draft law of the Italian Republic on additional provisions for the labelling of beverages in ring-pull cans
(notified under document number C(1999) 2897)
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(1999/631/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to 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 foodstuffs(1), as last amended by Directive 97/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular Articles 16 and 17 thereof,
(1) Whereas, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16(2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Italian authorities have notified the Commission of a draft law on additional provisions for the labelling of beverages in ring-pull cans;
(2) Whereas the said draft law requires the labelling of such beverages to carry an indication of the type "clean top of can before opening and avoid drinking directly from can";
(3) Whereas, in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Commission has consulted the other Member States within the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs;
(4) Whereas the hygiene measures advocated by the Italian authorities for using this type of packaging are not in question;
(5) Whereas, however, foodstuffs labelling is often not the most appropriate way of educating consumers in food hygiene;
(6) Whereas a more appropriate measure, constituting less of an obstacle to the free movement of the beverages in question, would be information campaigns to raise the awareness of consumers; particularly young consumers, regarding hygiene precautions to be taken when using this type of can;
(7) Whereas the requirements of the notified draft law therefore appear excessive in relation to the objective in hand;
(8) Whereas this finding has prompted the Commission to deliver a negative opinion, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) of Directive 79/112/EEC;
(9) Whereas for the Italian authorities to impose such an obligation unilaterally would create new barriers to the free movement of foodstuffs;
(10) Whereas the Italian authorities should therefore be asked not to adopt this draft law;
(11) Whereas the measures laid down in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
Italy is required not to adopt its draft law on additional provisions for the labelling of beverages in ring-pull cans.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 11 December 1987
on the multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture (1987 to 1991) presented by Belgium pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86
(Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic)
(88/2/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas the Belgian Government transmitted to the Commission on 30 April 1987 a multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture, termed 'the programme' below; whereas on 23 June 1987 it notified the final additional information about the programme;
Whereas the programme covers only freshwater species and is aimed, in addition to traditional production of carp and trout, at some diversification in a sector of modest size in Belgium; whereas the estimated investment requirement for the programme is 6 million ECU;
Whereas given the foreseeable trend in fishery resources, the market for fishery and aquaculture products, the measures adopted under the common fisheries policy and the guidelines for the latter, the programme meets the requirements laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid in the sector concerned;
Whereas, however, the technical or commercial difficulies that often attend the development of new products may occur as the programme is implemented; whereas this risk is particularly marked in the case of eels, where development of production will also depend on the supply of elvers;
Whereas international competition is increasing on the developing market in aquaculture products;
Whereas the trout production target set by the programme may have to be altered depending on the trend of the market in Salmonidae;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion issued by the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture (1987 to 1991), transmitted by the Government of Belgium on 30 April 1987 and last supplemented on 23 June 1987, is hereby approved subject to the conditions set out in this Decision.
1. Investment projects for the production of non-traditional species must be carefully assessed so that their technical practicability and future profitability will be guaranteed.
2. Particular attention must be paid to the technical practicability of eel-rearing and to adequacy and regularity of elver supplies.
3. The trout production target specified in the programme must be reviewed if substantial change occurs on the market in Salmonidae.
This Decision is without prejudice to any Community financial aid for individual investment projects.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium.
