COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 321/2011
of 1 April 2011
amending Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 as regards the restriction of use of Bisphenol A in plastic infant feeding bottles
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food and repealing Directives 80/590/EEC and 89/109/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(3) thereof,
After consulting the European Food Safety Authority,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Directive 2011/8/EU (2) amended Directive 2002/72/EC (3) relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs restricting the use of Bisphenol A (2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane) in polycarbonate infant feeding bottles. |
|
(2) |
From 1 May 2011 Directive 2002/72/EC will be replaced by Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 of 14 January 2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food (4). |
|
(3) |
Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 does not contain the restrictions concerning Bisphenol A that were introduced in Directive 2002/72/EC by Directive 2011/8/EU. |
|
(4) |
Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 should therefore be amended to reflect the restrictions of use of Bisphenol A. |
|
(5) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
