Council Minutes, 15 December 2020
The following is an extract from the minutes of the Agriculture and Fisheries Council Meeting held on the 15-16 December 2020:
In public session, ministers discussed the draft conclusions on front-of-pack nutrition labelling, nutrient profiles and origin labelling, as prepared by the presidency of the Council of the EU. Ministers agreed on the importance of an EU harmonised nutrition labelling at front-of-pack and in promoting healthy and sustainable diets. They also encouraged the European Commission to prepare a legislative proposal based on science and an impact assessment. While there was broad support from member states for the text prepared by the presidency there was no consensus. With the support of 23 member states, the presidency will issue the text as presidency conclusions.
