tad-9 ta’ Ġunju 1980

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

(80/590/KEE)

Whereas the last indent of Article 7 (1) (a) of Directive 76/893/EEC provides for the determination of a symbol that may accompany materials and articles instead of the particulars "for food use" or a specific indication as to the use of such materials and articles;

IL-KUMMISSJONI TAL-KOMUNITAJIET EWROPEJ,

Whereas such symbol must be easy to understand ; whereas in addition it must be possible to reproduce it on materials and articles or on other media under the best possible technical conditions;

Wara li kkunsidrat it-Trattat li jistabbilixxi l-Komunità Ekonomika Ewropea,

Whereas the symbol reproduced in the Annex hereto meets these criteria;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,

Billi l-aħħar inċiż ta’ l-Artikolu 7(1)(a) tad-Direttiva 76/893/KEE jipprovdi għall-istabbiliment ta’ simbolu li jista’ jikkompanja materjali u oġġetti minflok id-dettalji "sabiex jintuża ma’ l-ikel" jew indikazzjoni speċifika għall-użu tat-tali materjali u oġġetti;

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Billi simbolu bħal dan irid ikun faċli biex jinftiehem; billi barra minn hekk irid ikun jista’ jiġi riprodott fuq materjali u oġġetti jew fuq mezzi oħra taħt l-aħjar kondizzjonijiet tekniċi possibli;

Billi s-simbolu riprodott fl-Anness hawnhekk jissodisfa dawn il-kriterji;

Article 1

Billi il-miżuri maħsuba f’din id-Direttiva huma konformi ma’ l-opinjoni tal-Kumitat Permanenti dwar l-Oġġetti ta’ l-Ikel,

The symbol referred to in the last indent of Article 7 (1) (a) of Directive 76/893/EEC shall be that reproduced in the Annex hereto.
