Council Decision
of 17 November 2003
relating to the conclusion on behalf of the European Community of Council of Europe Convention No 180 on information and legal cooperation on information society services
(2003/840/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 in conjunction with Article 300(2), first subparagraph, thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council of Europe Convention No 180 on information and legal cooperation on information society services (Convention) sets up an international system of prior notification and administrative cooperation specifically aimed at information society services.
(2) As information society services are provided at a distance, by electronic means and at the individual request of a recipient of services (according to the definition set out in Article 2 of the Convention) they are services which are provided without requiring physical travel by either the service provider or the recipient. For this reason, they are subject to the common commercial policy and fall under the exclusive competence of the European Community, pursuant to Opinion 1/94 of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, regarding the World Trade Organisation(1).
(3) Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society services(2), operational since 1999, has been an extremely positive experience as a mechanism for prior information and administrative dialogue in the field of on-line services.
(4) A similar international mechanism should be quickly established within the Council of Europe, in which it is in the Community's direct interest to participate. Such a mechanism would allow it to be regularly informed about regulatory initiatives being prepared in other countries and then, if appropriate, to express its observations on drafts which could have grave legal and economic implications in the context of on-line activities.
(5) In practice, such participation would be based on the operational mechanism set up in 1983 by Directive 83/189/EEC, later repealed and replaced by Directive 98/34/EC, and would, in particular, avoid any additional notification burden on Member States over and above that already incumbent on them by virtue of Directive 98/34/EC.
(6) The Convention should be approved,
Council of Europe Convention No 180 on information and legal cooperation on information society services is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Convention is annexed to this Decision(3).
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person(s) empowered to sign the Convention in order to bind the Community.
This Decision will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 1155/2013
of 21 August 2013
amending Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the provision of food information to consumers as regards information on the absence or reduced presence of gluten in food
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on the provision of food information to consumers (1), and in particular Article 36(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Paragraph 2 of Article 36 of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 requires that information that may be provided by food business operators does not mislead the consumer, is not ambiguous or confusing for the consumer and, where appropriate, is based on the relevant scientific data.
(2) According to paragraph 3 of that Article the Commission is to adopt implementing acts on the application of those requirements to the cases identified in that paragraph.
(3) Paragraph 4 of that Article provides for the possibility to supplement paragraph 3 by adding other specific cases in which the Commission is to implement those requirements in order to ensure that consumers are appropriately informed.
(4) People with coeliac disease suffer from a permanent intolerance to gluten. Gluten can cause adverse effects to those people and therefore it should be absent or present in very low amounts in their diet.
(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 (2) sets out harmonised rules on the information that is provided to consumers on the absence or reduced presence of gluten in food. Regulation (EU) No 609/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) foresees the repeal of Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 from 20 July 2016.
(6) Consumers should continue to be appropriately informed and not misled or confused when information on the absence or reduced presence of gluten in foods is provided by food business operators after the repeal of Regulation (EC) No 41/2009. It is therefore necessary to amend paragraph 3 of Article 36 of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 in order to allow the Commission to establish uniform conditions for food information on the absence or reduced presence of gluten in food that may be provided by food business operators,
In the first subparagraph of Article 36(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, the following point (d) is added:
‘(d) information on the absence or reduced presence of gluten in food.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
