COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 975/2009
of 19 October 2009
amending Directive 2002/72/EC relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Directive 2002/72/EC of 6 August 2002 relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (2) establishes a Community list of monomers and other starting substances, which may be used for the manufacture of plastic materials and articles. Recently additional monomers and starting substances have received a favourable scientific evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) and should now be added to the existing list. |
(2) |
Directive 2002/72/EC also contains a Community list of additives which may be used for the manufacture of plastic materials and articles. Recently additional additives have received a favourable scientific evaluation by the Authority and should now be added to the existing list. |
(3) |
Directive 2002/72/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(4) |
According to Article 4(1) of Directive 2002/72/EC, the Community list of additives contained in Annex III to that Directive will become a positive list from 1 January 2010. Consequently, the titles in Annex III to that Directive should no longer refer to an ‘incomplete’ list of additives. |
(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:
Article 1
Annexes II, III, IVa, V and VI to Directive 2002/72/EC are amended in accordance with Annexes I to V to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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.
Done at Brussels, 19 October 2009.
