COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 1040/2014
of 25 July 2014
amending Council Directive 2001/112/EC relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption to adapt its Annex I to technical progress
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2001/112/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Directive 2001/112/EC empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts to amend the Annexes to that Directive, with the exception of Part I of Annex I, and of Annex II, in order to bring them into line with developments in relevant international standards and in order to take into account technical progress. |

Those substances are plant proteins derived from either wheat, peas or potatoes, which can be an alternative to the currently authorized substance gelatine, derived from animal products. |
|
(3) |
In order to take into account this technical progress, point 3 of Part II of Annex I to Directive 2001/112/EC should be amended by incorporating those new substances, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In point 3 of Part II of Annex I to Directive 2001/112/EC, the following indent is added:
|
‘— |
Plant proteins from wheat, peas or potatoes for clarification’ |
