CASEINS – Council Discussions on General Approach to Updating the Casein Controls

The following is an extract from the Agriculture and Fisheries held on the 15th and 16th December, 2014:

The Council agreed a general approach on a draft directive approximating the member states' laws relating to caseins and caseinates intended for human consumption (15875/14).

The draft directive is aimed at

• aligning the provisions conferring implementing powers on the Commission with the rules introduced by the Lisbon Treaty;
• aligning the compositional requirements of caseins and caseinates with the relevant Codex Alimentarius standard;
• updating the provisions applicable to caseins and caseinates taking into account EU legislation adopted in the meantime.

A copy of the Council document including the draft proposal is available on this site.  See: Proposal for a Directive … relating to caseins and caseinates intended for human consumption - General approach
