Council Minutes, 14 May 2019
The following is an extract from the minutes of the Foreign Affairs Council meeting held on the 13/14 May 2019:
The Council decided not to object to a Commission regulation amending delegated regulation (EU) 2016/127 with regards to vitamin D requirements for infant formula and erucic acid requirements for infant formula and follow-on formula.
Following an assessment by the European Food Safety Authority on the safety of consumption by infants of formulae containing 3 μg/100 kcal of vitamin D, the regulation lowers the maximum levels of erucic acid in infant formula and follow-on formula.
The regulation is a delegated act pursuant to article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU/. It can now enter into force, unless the European Parliament objects(7620/19), (7620/19 ADD1), (8588/19).
