Whereas:
(1) On 4 May 2005 the company Enzymotec made a request to the competent authorities of the Netherlands to place oil enriched with phytosterols/phytostanols on the market as a novel food or a novel food ingredient.
(2) On 23 May 2006 the competent food assessment body of the Netherlands issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that the oil enriched with phytosterols is safe for human consumption.
(3) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 29 May 2006.
(4) Within the sixty day-period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.

Oil enriched with phytosterols/phytostanols as specified in Annex 1 may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient for use in the foods specified in Annex 2.
The products containing the novel food ingredient shall be presented in such a manner that they can be easily divided into portions that contain either a maximum of 3 g (in case of one portion per day) or a maximum of 1 g (in case of three portions per day) of added phytosterols/phytostanols.
The amount of phytosterols/phytostanols added to a container of beverages shall not exceed 3 g.
Spicy sauces and salad dressings including mayonnaise shall be packed as single portions.
