Council Minutes, 13 July 2015
The following is an extract from the minutes of the Agriculture and Fisheries Council Meeting:
The Council decided not to oppose the adoption of a Commission regulation concerning the use of certain colours in dried potato granules and flakes (See 9533/15). The regulation authorises Riboflavins (E 101) and carotenes (E 160a) for use in dried potato granules and flakes to restore a visually acceptable appearance of the final product intended for consumption
The Commission regulation is subject to the so called regulatory procedure with scrutiny. This means that now that the Council has given its consent, the Commission may adopt the regulation/decision/directive, unless the European Parliament objects.
