2011/0156(COD) Food intended for infants and young children and food for special medical purposes
2012/01/17
IMCO
6 amendments...
Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) Directive 2009/39/EC foresees that specific provisions could be adopted regarding the two following specific categories of food falling within the definition of foodstuffs for particular nutritional uses: ‘food intended to meet the expenditure of intense muscular effort, especially for sportsmen’ and ‘food for persons suffering from carbohydrate metabolism disorders (diabetes)’. With regard to food intended to meet the expenditure of intense muscular effort, no successful conclusion could be reached as regard the development of specific provisions due to widely diverging views among Member States and stakeholders concerning the scope of the specific legislation, the number of sub-categories of the food to be included, the criteria for establishing composition requirements and the potential impact on innovation in product development. ‘Food intended to meet the expenditure of intense muscular effort, especially for sportsmen’ should therefore be regulated under Directive 2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 June 2002 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to food supplements1 in order to improve the functioning of the internal market and to provide a higher level of consumer protection. It is necessary to support innovations while maintaining a high level of consumer protection. As regards special provisions for food for persons suffering from carbohydrate metabolism disorders (diabetes), a Commission report concludes that the scientific basis for setting specific compositional requirements is lacking. ____________________ 1 OJ L 183, 12.7.2002, p. 51.
Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 a (new) (19a) Taking into account relevant technical and scientific progress, the Commission should be empowered to update the delegated acts adopted pursuant to this Regulation. This should foster innovation in the sector of food intended for infants and young children and food for special medical purposes, which must not occur at the expenses of product safety.

Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 (1) Article 176 of the Treaty provides that the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is intended to help to redress the main regional imbalances in the Union and thus enhance the principle of territorial cohesion. The ERDF therefore contributes to reducing the gap between the levels of development of the various regions and the extent to which the least favoured regions, including rural and urban areas, declining industrial regions, areas with severe and permanent natural and demographic handicaps, such as islands, mountainous areas, sparsely populated areas and border regions, are lagging behind.

Amendment 146 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) Experience with the current financial framework shows that many Member States, which are eligible to the Cohesion Fund, are facing significant obstacles in delivering on time complex cross-border transport infrastructure projects with a high Union added value. Therefore, in order to improve the delivery of transport projects, in particular cross-border ones, with a high Union added value, part of the Cohesion Fund allocation (EUR 10 billion) should be transferred to finance transport projects on the transport core network in the Member States eligible to the Cohesion Fund under the Connecting Europe Facility. The Commission should support Member States eligible to the Cohesion Fund to develop an adequate pipeline of projects in order to give greatest possible priority to the national allocations under the Cohesion Fund. The Commission should ensure that no distortion of the national allocations is possible. The Commission should at the same time provide necessary coordination and assistance to the eligible Member States in order to remove administrative and bureaucratic barriers and ensure transparent process of selection of the projects.
