Translation expenditure

European Parliament resolution of 10 July 2007 on Special Report No 9/2006 of the European Court of Auditors concerning translation expenditure incurred by the Commission, the Parliament and the Council (2007/2077(INI))

The European Parliament,

—

having regard to the European Court of Auditors' Special Report No 9/2006 concerning translation expenditure incurred by the Commission, the Parliament and the Council together with the Institutions' replies (1),

—

having regard to Article 248(4), first subparagraph, Article 276(3) and Article 280(5) of the EC Treaty,

—

having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,

—

having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control (A6-0215/2007),

Respect for multilingualism

1.

Considers multilingualism to be a key feature of the EU highlighting cultural and linguistic diversity and ensuring equal treatment of Union citizens; considers that multilingualism guarantees the right of citizens to communicate with the EU institutions in any of its official languages, thus enabling those citizens to exercise their right of democratic control; notes that, at the same time, the linguistic services of the EU institutions help those institutions to remain open and transparent to the citizens of Europe;

2.

Is of the opinion that the concept of ‘controlled full multilingualism’, laid down in its Code of Conduct on multilingualism (2), represents the only means of keeping costs within acceptable budgetary limits, whilst maintaining equality among Members and citizens;

3.

Regrets that more and more documents and communications, in particular compromise amendments when put to the vote in committee or, for instance, annexes to reports, are submitted in one language only;

Cost of translations

4.

Stresses that the total cost of all the linguistic services of the EU institutions — translation and interpretation combined — represents merely 1 % of the total EU budget;

5.

Notes that, in 2005, the volume of translations was 1 324 000 pages in the Commission (1 450 translators), 1 080 000 pages in the Parliament (550 translators) and 475 000 pages in the Council (660 translators);

6.

Is surprised that the institutions have so far calculated neither their total translation costs (3), nor their costs per page; notes, furthermore, that the European Court of Auditors (ECA) estimated the full cost of translation, in 2003, at EUR 414,2 million (2005: EUR 511 million), being 214,8 million for the Commission (2005: EUR 257 million), EUR 99 million for the Parliament (2005: EUR 128 million) and EUR 100,4 million for the Council (2005: EUR 126 million); for the same year the average costs per page stood at EUR 166,37 (2005: EUR 196,3), being EUR 150,2 for the Commission (2005: EUR 194), EUR 149,7 for the Parliament (2005: EUR 119), and EUR 251,8 for the Council (2005: EUR 276);

7.

Welcomes, in that context, that its administration has managed to reduce translation costs by page, in spite of enlargement;

8.

Is concerned about the ECA's observation that the productivity of the Council's translation service is low;

9.

Calls on the institutions to take the appropriate measures to further improve the productivity of the EU translation services;

10.

Notices that the prices it paid for freelance translators were on average 12 % higher than the prices paid by the Commission; notes the explanation given by its administration, which points out that the language range of Parliament's freelance translators is wider and that those translators must meet shorter deadlines and very high quality standards;

11.

Welcomes the fact that the Commission and the Council have managed to limit the increase in translation volume after the enlargement of the EU in 2004 to include 10 new Member States, thereby curbing the cost increase; notes that Parliament introduced the concept of ‘controlled full multilingualism’, thereby enabling it to maintain the level of service while keeping costs in check;

12.

Calls on the three institutions to establish clear and comparable cost parameters with a view to ascertaining both the total costs of translation and the price per page; stresses that the figures obtained should be used not only for budgetary purposes, but also to raise cost awareness among users;

13.

Agrees with the principle (4) that verbatim reports of proceedings in plenary should be published as a multilingual document in which the statements of the speakers only appear in the original language, on the understanding that filmed versions of the debates, together with live interpretation into all the official languages, be made available free of charge to the general public on demand on an appropriate technical platform and that only the original text is authoritative, given that, legally, interpretation is not an oral translation; is of the opinion that Members must be entitled to have access to extracts of debates translated into their language, with the possibility of downloading those extracts, and that without delay; is of the opinion also that provision must be made to keep a digital and searchable archive; requests the Secretary-General to draw up a formal proposal implementing that decision of principle, which would include antiabuse clauses and identify, if indicated, potential changes to the Rules of Procedure (such as Rule 173) and to other internal rules which are necessary to put the proposed new approach into practice;

Quality of translations

14.

Welcomes the fact that the quality and timeliness of translations into the EU-15 languages (the official languages of the 15 Member States prior to the 2004 and 2007 enlargements), according to a client satisfaction survey carried out by the ECA, is considered generally satisfactory, although some problems persist in relation to technical and legal terminology;

15.

Is concerned, however, about the considerably lower quality of the EU-10 translations (the translations into the official languages of the 10 Member States which acceded in 2004) in some institutions in 2004, mainly caused by a lack of qualified translators; notes that, in the meantime, the Commission has addressed the problem and that all institutions, with the help of the Member States, have made progress in recruiting qualified translators;

16.

Calls on the Commission to organise a critical review of EPSO's failure to recruit the staff needed from the EU-10 countries;

17.

Is generally of the opinion that the institutions must take the necessary measures to guarantee a high standard of translations; calls on its administration, the Council, and the Commission, therefore, to report, in time for the 2006 discharge procedure, on measures taken to monitor and improve the quality of translations;

18.

Calls on the institutions to set up tools for measuring user satisfaction ; in addition, calls for random quality checks and client satisfaction surveys to be conducted on a regular basis;

Procedures for managing translation demands

19.

Notes that the ECA criticised ambiguous procedures for requesting translations, and also unclear guidelines with regard to what documents must be and need not be translated;

20.

In this context, welcomes the Commission's readiness to address the authorisation procedure and the screening of translation requests in 2006; also welcomes the fact that, in 2003, the Council established a list of core documents, thereby limiting the translation of other texts;

21.

Recommends that greater use be made of documents that are limited in length and of written summaries;

22.

Encourages parliamentary committees and delegations, whenever possible, to provide texts only in the languages of committee and delegation members and their substitutes; considers that additional language versions should be provided only upon request;

23.

Highlights the importance of committees, delegations and political groups in the drawing up of monthly translation forecasts (5); stresses that, in return, users should be informed of the costs incurred by their requests for translation;

Efficiency of the translation process

24.

Calls on the institutions to develop qualitative and quantitative performance indicators with a view to facilitating the monitoring of translation processes for management purposes;

25.

Regrets that its translation service does not yet make systematic use of translation tools; calls, therefore, on its management to take the necessary steps to ensure the systematic use of such tools, in particular translation memory systems (i.e. Euramis), in which the potential for re-use, and hence for qualitative gains, is high;

26.

Calls on the Parliament, the Council and the Commission to make efficient and effective use of internal and external resources, such as data bases, computer-assisted translations, teleworking and outsourcing;

27.

Welcomes the improving inter-institutional cooperation between the translation services of the different institutions, and in particular the creation of a common terminology data base, the development of common translation memories and the sharing of resources by means of the workload-balancing project;

Minimising administrative costs imposed by legislation

European Parliament resolution of 10 July 2007 on minimising administrative costs imposed by legislation (2005/2140(INI))

The European Parliament,

—

having regard to the EC Treaty,

—

having regard to the communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament on Better Regulation for Growth and Jobs in the European Union (COM(2005)0097) and the communication from the Commission on an EU common methodology for assessing administrative costs imposed by legislation (COM(2005)0518),

—

having regard to the Commission Staff Working Document entitled ‘Annex to the communication on an EU common methodology for assessing administrative costs imposed by legislation: Outline of the proposed EU common methodology and Report on the Pilot Phase (April to September 2005)’ (SEC(2005)1329),

—

having regard to the communication from the Commission to the Spring European Council entitled ‘Time to move up a gear — The new partnership for growth and jobs’ (COM(2006)0030),

—

having regard to its resolution of 20 April 2004 on assessment of the impact of Community legislation and the consultation procedures (1),

—

having regard to the Report from the Commission — ‘Better Lawmaking 2004’ (COM(2005)0098),

—

having regard to the conclusions of the Competitiveness Council of 13 March 2006 on SME policy for growth and employment, on the basis of the communication from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions entitled ‘Implementing the Community Lisbon Programme — Modern SME policy for growth and employment’ (COM(2005)0551),

—

having regard to the communication from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions entitled ‘A strategic review of Better Regulation in the European Union’ (COM(2006)0689),

—

having regard to the Commission working document entitled ‘Measuring administrative costs and reducing administrative burdens in the European Union’ (COM(2006)0691),

—

having regard to the Communication from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on an Action Programme for Reducing Administrative Burdens in the European Union (COM(2007)0023),

—

having regard to the Pilot Project ‘Minimising Administrative Burdens’ (EU Budget 2007, Article 26 01 08),

—

having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,

—

having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinions of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs and the Committee on Legal Affairs (A6-0275/2007),

A.

Whereas the issue of minimising administrative costs imposed by legislation is one of the most important aspects of the general aim of better regulation,

B.

Whereas it is important to seek flexible and coherent cooperation between committees in Parliament on subjects which might have a significant impact on the implementation of the budget of the European Union,

C.

Whereas the mission of its Committee on Budgetary Control is to assure the citizens of the European Union that EU funds are raised and spent effectively and properly, and that they are correctly allocated to the tasks which the EU has been asked to perform; whereas to accomplish this aim the Committee strives to develop a modern, effective and efficient public EU accountability system which can ensure sound implementation of the budget, better governance and clear accountability,

D.

Whereas regulatory costs, of which administrative obligations are just one element, must be analysed in a broad context encompassing the economic, social and environmental costs and benefits of regulation, and such regular review and integrated analysis should be considered by all as key components of better regulation,

E.

Whereas compliance costs are all the costs of complying with regulation, with the exception of direct financial costs and long term consequences and can, in the context of the Standard Cost Model, be divided into substantive compliance costs and administrative costs,

F.

Whereas administrative costs are defined as the costs incurred by enterprises, the voluntary sector, public authorities and citizens in meeting legal obligations to provide information on their actions or products, either to public authorities or to private parties,

G.

Whereas the European Court of Auditors has repeatedly stated that, on the basis of its audit results, it is of the opinion that one of the main causes of irregularities are the underlying rules and regulations, which do not allow for an adequate risk management and strongly hinder the legal and regular expenditure of EU funds,

H.

Whereas the proposed Action Programme for Reducing Administrative Burdens in the EU could reduce administrative burdens by 25 % by 2012, covering Community legislation as well as national regulatory burdens, which could lead to an increase in the level of EU GDP of approximately 1,4 % or EUR 150 billion in the medium term (2),

I.

Whereas the European Council of 8 and 9 March 2007 decided that in Spring 2008, on the basis of a review by the Commission, it will consider whether further action is needed, taking into account different options, including that of a group of independent experts that advise the institutions on their work towards better regulation,

J.

Whereas the European Council of 8 and 9 March 2007 supported the intention of the Commission to set up, as a pilot project, an independent expert committee to assist the Commission and the Member States with the implementation of the abovementioned Action Programme for Reducing Administrative Burdens,

K.

Whereas reducing administrative burdens is an important measure for boosting Europe's economy, especially through its impact on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs),

L.

Whereas legislation is the foundation of properly functioning societies, taking into account social, economic and environmental considerations and assessing their value equally,

1.

Welcomes the interinstitutional agreement on better law-making (3) and calls on the Council, the Commission and Parliament to make this a reality;

2.

Recalls that the Protocol on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality annexed to the EC Treaty provides that the Commission should ‘take duly into account the need for any burden, whether financial or administrative, falling upon the Community, national governments, local authorities, economic operators and citizens to be minimised and proportionate to the objective to be achieved’;

3.

Agrees that the regulatory environment in which businesses operate is a determinant of their competitiveness, sustainable growth and employment performance, and that ensuring that the existing and future regulatory environment is transparent, clear, effective and generally of high quality should be an important objective of EU policy;

4.

Emphasises the importance of fully applying the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality in adopting Community legislation;

5.

Feels that the continual consultation of stakeholders is an important component in the examination of legislative proposals; points out that consultation should involve all groups concerned, with a particular focus on those which have to carry the heaviest burdens resulting from legislation, and that the selection of consulted groups should be transparent and balanced; further points out that the consultation procedure should fully respect the Treaty provisions regarding the role of social partners as provided for in Article 138, as well as the principles laid down in the communication from the Commission entitled ‘towards a reinforced culture of consultation and dialogue — general principles and minimum standards for consultation of interested parties by the Commission’ (COM(2002)0704), which requires the Commission to ensure that relevant parties have the opportunity to express their opinions;

6.

Underlines further that smaller actors should be actively consulted because they are simply not capable of competing with multinationals and large corporations or organizations with the resources to hire expensive lobbyists and consultants to bring forward their grievances;

7.

Is of the opinion that it is important, with the reduction of administrative burdens for businesses and citizens, that the Commission consult ex-post target groups to determine to what extent administrative burdens have been effectively reduced;

8.

Stresses in this light the need to make existing web portals accessible to every European citizen, company or NGO in all the official languages of the EU, in order to assure maximum accessibility and influence;

9.

Welcomes the emphasis placed on the early consultation of stakeholders, including the social partners, SMEs, legislators, law enforcement bodies and non-governmental organisations; underlines the role of social dialogue as a useful tool, contributing to better European governance by ensuring a better balance of interests through the involvement of all actors in decision-making and in the implementation process; stresses that ‘all actors’ must include those working in SMEs, as laid down in the SME Charter and agreed by the Lisbon European Council of 23 and 24 March 2000; calls on the Commission to take initiatives to extend and enhance social dialogue at European level and, on the basis of the outcome, to continue to improve social standards without disregarding the need to preserve jobs;

10.

Invites the Commission to report on its current initiatives to guarantee the direct consultation of stakeholders; feels that it is also important that the Commission carry out an ex-post evaluation that gives evidence of the results obtained;

11.

Calls on the Commission, when proposing new legislation, to give an indication as to what the costs of implementing and monitoring the proposed legislation are; argues that the Commission should take as a basis the total expenditure occasioned by the legislation in question;

12.

Stresses that the effect of simplifying and updating existing legislation should not be deregulation, diluting health and safety legislation or dismantling basic social standards; calls on the Commission to make sure that legislation continues to deliver improvements in social standards whilst at the same time not being detrimental to business competitiveness; recognises that one important way of improving social standards is to reduce unemployment, by fostering a regulatory climate which promotes enterprise and job creation;

13.

Considers it very important to counteract any unnecessary gold-plating or topping-up of legislation by Member States; urges the Commission to take this into account when issuing regulations and directives; feels strongly that the Commission must clearly state the minimum requirements of regulations and directives;

14.

Expects Member States when raising the level of requirements and control measurements beyond the minimum requirements laid down in Community legislation, to communicate and indicate this in national legislation or the implementing measures; calls on the Commission to monitor Member States as regards unnecessary administrative burdens arising from implementing measures and national legislation;

15.

Calls on the Commission, within the framework of the abovementioned interinstitutional agreement on better law-making, to adopt targeted, well-considered legislation with predictable consequences which will contribute to creating favourable conditions by providing suitable incentives for undertakings and companies, reducing superfluous expenditure and procedures, removing barriers to adaptability and innovation and generally providing legal certainty;

16.

Urges that the Commission, when proposing new legislation, indicate the administrative burden this imposes on the various economic, social and environmental sectors in comparison to equivalent sectors outside the EU; proposes that this be given special attention within the newly proposed competitiveness testing, which is an integral part of impact assessments;

17.

Invites the Commission to present to Parliament the ‘project on competitiveness testing’ currently under elaboration, in order to allow an exchange of views before it is put into place;

18.

Highlights the need for the Commission, the Member States and Parliament to cooperate and to commit to a common and comprehensive strategy to promote better regulation in order to strengthen the Partnership for Growth and Jobs, namely through the examination of the different national legislative frameworks and the incorporation of the best proven practices identified; calls on the Commission to respect the different practices and national strategies adopted by the Member States, whether they implement European directives in the fields of employment and social protection through collective agreement or by regulation and law;

19.

Stresses the importance of better implementation and enforcement of existing legislation, across all Member States, and calls for infringement procedures to be rapid in order to ensure a level playing field; calls on the Commission and the Member States to improve mechanisms for identifying legislation which must be simplified;

20.

Supports the Commission Action Programme for reducing the administrative burdens in the EU, the aim of which is to measure the administrative cost for companies in Europe and to reduce administrative burdens by 25 % by 2012;

21.

Notes that the strategy for a 25 % reduction refers to administrative burdens for companies, especially needless burdens and cannot, as the Commission itself states, be perceived as deregulation;

22.

Gives full support to the Commission's initiative but, at the same time, will watch to ensure that the legislative goals are not affected by that approach;

23.

Underlines the need for fast track procedures to effectively reduce administrative burdens by 25 % by 2012; stresses that Parliament and the Council should be fully supportive in making the simplification process work;

24.

Supports therefore the proposal by the Commission for ‘fast track actions’ concerning Commission measures, collective proposals and stand-alone proposals; invites the Commission to make more use of the experience acquired by Member States which have already carried out baseline measurements, in order to establish further ‘fast track actions’;

25.

Notes the identification of the 13 priority areas in the abovementioned Commission Action Programme on the reasoning that 80 % of the total administrative burden is to be found in those areas; Emphasizes that this assessment is based on national experiences and measurements (4); agrees with the Commission that this approach is pragmatic, but feels it should be seen as a first phase;

26.

Supports therefore the intention of the Commission to extend the Action Programme to other areas that are currently not included; expects the Commission to include the identification of all further eligible burden reductions in its strategy of outsourcing actual measurement to external consultants;

27.

Is of the opinion that the introduction of the Community Action Programme for reducing the administrative burden subsequently means that the Commission has to allocate sufficient resources and appropriations; supports, therefore, the fact that approximately EUR 19,6 million excluding VAT has been made available by the Commission services to this end; invites the Commission however to report to the Committee on Budgets as to which budget lines the appropriations are taken from, to what extent this affects other policies, how and when that sum will be spent and what the legal bases are to justify that expenditure;

28.

Stresses that if the Commission feels that it is unable to allocate sufficient resources and appropriations within the current administrative framework, it should pinpoint and communicate possible solutions to overcome those problems to the budgetary authority;

29.

Points out that the 25 % reduction should reflect a net reduction in burdens; emphasises, therefore, the need to include administrative burdens following on from new regulations as of 2008, as well as in the final assessment in 2012; stresses that a 25 % reduction within the 13 priority areas can only be seen as a gross reduction target; points out that the present approach cannot therefore ensure an actual reduction of 25 % for companies;

30.

Calls on the Commission to publish and present to Parliament's relevant committees a detailed scoreboard with precise targets to be achieved and a set timeline for the implementation of measures, identified as necessary for achieving the 25 % reduction target by 2012, and to report annually on its progress to Parliament's competent committees;

31.

Stresses that the Council, Parliament and the Commission have to engage fully and assume political responsibility concerning the reduction of administrative burdens; is convinced that without ownership at the political level, the EU will be unable to succeed in changing its culture of law-making;

32.

Intends to fully apply impact assessment procedures to determine the effect of amendments to proposals, and calls on the Council to do the same; asks the Commission to provide the necessary assistance and expertise;

33.

Calls on the Commission to ensure that, during implementation of the impact assessment guidelines, a study of economic activities improves the quality of the actual impact assessment; insists that it is imperative that impact assessments are conducted in a thorough, transparent and balanced way, giving equal weight to social, economic and environmental aspects;

34.

Emphasises that ownership at the political level also needs to be accompanied by improved practices at the management and implementation levels; stresses therefore that each Directorate-General (DG) must be made aware of the unnecessary administrative burdens in their policy areas through an initial baseline measurement, and further proposes a system, such as, for example, internal audit capabilities in each Commission DG that can advise and help the various Director-Generals cultivate and implement reduction policies and individual targets per DG;

35.

Asks the Commission to report on its internal organisational set-up for the administrative burden reduction policy; Asks it to compare this set-up with the set-ups used in the various Member States that already have an administrative burden reduction policy in place;

36.

Calls on the Commission to evaluate the added value of the Impact Assessment Board (IAB) in the impact assessment procedures by 2008; invites the Commission to report specifically on the impact of the IAB in comparison to the impact of independent advisory boards in different Member States and to assess the maximum possible added value of truly independent scrutiny at a European level;

37.

Proposes that the appropriations reserved on line 26 01 08 of the EU Budget for a pilot project minimising administrative burdens be used to set up an independent panel of experts, comprising representatives from all stakeholder groups, to fully monitor implementation of the Action Programme ‘Reducing Administrative Burdens in the EU’; Points out that this also means that the independent expert committee can focus on all impact procedures, measurements and legislative proposals outside the 13 priority areas;

38.

(As an agreement was reached between Parliament and Council, Parliament's position at second reading corresponds to the final legislative act, Decision No 1350/2007/EC.)

TRILATERAL DECLARATION

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission,

—

share the view that the 2nd Programme of Community action in the field of Health (2008-2013) must be provided with financial means that allow fully for its implementation;

—

recall Article 37 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (1) stating that the budgetary authority and the Commission undertake not to depart by more than 5% from the budget unless new, objective, long term circumstances arise for which specific reasons are given. Any increase resulting from such variation must remain within the existing ceiling of the heading concerned;

—

assure their willingness to evaluate in a sound manner the specific needs and circumstances of the Health Programme in the annual budget procedure.

(1)  OJ C 139, of 14.6.2006.

COMMISSION DECLARATION

1. On 24 May 2006, the Commission issued an amended proposal for a second Programme of Community action in the field of Health (2007-2013) (1). In Art. 7, the reference amount of the programme was proposed to be set at EUR 365,6 million for the period starting in 2007 and ending in 2013.

2. Because of delays in the legislative procedure, on 23 March 2007 the Commission informed the Budget Authority that the start of the new Public Health programme will have to be postponed to budget year 2008 (2). As a consequence, the envelope of the new Public health programme 2008-2013 would need to be adjusted to the level of EUR 321,5 million.

3. An amount of EUR 44,1 million will be used in the 2007 budget year under the present Public Health programme (3) in order to ensure maximum continuity concerning public health actions. Therefore, the total envelope for public health actions financed from the programmes over the period 2007-2013 sums up to EUR 365,6 million.

P6_TC1-COD(2006)0143

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 10 July 2007 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ║,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

(1)

The free movement of safe and wholesome food is an essential aspect of the internal market and contributes significantly to the health and well-being of citizens and to their social and economic interests.

(2)

A high level of protection of human life and health and of the environment needs to be assured in the pursuit of Community policies.

(3)

So as to protect human health, the safety of additives, enzymes and flavourings for use in foodstuffs for human consumption must be assessed before they are placed on the Community market.

(4)

Regulation (EC) No XXX/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of ... [on food additives] (3), Regulation (EC) No YYY/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of ... [on food enzymes] (3) and Regulation (EC) No ZZZ/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of ... [on food flavourings and certain food ingredients with flavouring properties] (3) lay ▐ down criteria and requirements concerning the assessment and authorisation of these substances.

(5)

It is envisaged, in particular, that food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings, to the extent that the safety of the latter must be assessed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No ZZZ/2007, must not be placed on the market or used in foodstuffs for human consumption, in accordance with the conditions laid down in each sectoral food law, unless they are included on a Community list of authorised substances.

(6)

Transparency in the production and handling of food is absolutely crucial to achieving consumer credibility.

(7)

In this context, it appears appropriate to establish a common Community assessment and authorisation procedure for these three categories of substances that is effective, time-limited and transparent, so as to contribute to their free movement within the Community market.

(8)

This common procedure must be founded on the principles of good administration and legal certainty and must be implemented in compliance with these principles.

(9)

The criteria laid down for authorisation in Regulations (EC) No XXX/2007, (EC) No YYY/2007 and (EC) No ZZZ/2007 should also be fulfilled for authorisation pursuant to this Regulation.

(10)

This Regulation will thus complete the regulatory framework concerning the authorisation of the substances by laying down the various stages of the procedure, the deadlines for these stages, the role of the parties involved and the principles that apply. Nevertheless, for some aspects of the procedure, it is necessary to take the specific characteristics of each sectoral food law into consideration.

(11)

In accordance with the framework for risk assessment in matters of food safety established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (4), the placing of substances on the market must be authorised only after an independent scientific assessment, of the highest possible standard, of the risks that they pose to human health. This assessment, which must be carried out under the responsibility of the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Authority’), must be followed by a risk management decision taken by the Commission under a regulatory procedure that ensures close cooperation between the Commission and the Member States.

(12)

It is recognised that ▐ scientific risk assessment alone cannot provide all the information on which a risk management decision should be based, and that other legitimate factors relevant to the matter under consideration must be taken into account.

(13)

So that both business operators in the sectors concerned and the public are kept informed of the authorisations in force, the authorised substances need to be included on a Community list created, maintained and published by the Commission.

(14)

Networking between the Authority and the Member States' organisations operating in the fields within the Authority's mission is one of the basic principles of the Authority's operation. In consequence, in preparing its opinion, the Authority may use the network made available to it by Article 36 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2230/2004 of 23 December 2004 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 with regard to the network of organisations operating in the fields within the European Food Safety Authority's mission (5).

(15)

The common authorisation procedure for the substances must fulfil transparency and public information requirements while guaranteeing applicants the right to preserve the confidentiality of certain information , in duly justified cases and for stated reasons .

(16)

Pursuant to Article 41 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (6) applies to documents held by the Authority.

(17)

Articles 53 and 54 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 establish procedures for taking emergency measures in relation to foodstuffs of Community origin or imported from third countries. They authorise the Commission to adopt such measures in situations where foodstuffs are likely to constitute a serious risk to human health, animal health or the environment and where such risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by measures taken by the Member State(s) concerned.

(18)

In the interests of efficiency and legislative simplification, there should be a medium-term examination , including consultation of stakeholders, as to whether to extend the scope of the common procedure to other legislation in the area of food.

(19)

Since the objectives of this Regulation cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States on account of differences between national laws and provisions and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve these objectives.

(20)

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (7) . The Commission should, as appropriate, consult stakeholders in preparing the measures to put before the Committee referred to in that Decision.

(21)

In particular, the Commission should be empowered to update and modify the Community list of food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings to be established under this Regulation. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, inter alia by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC,

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 10 July 2007 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on food additives

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ║ ,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

(1)

The free movement of safe and wholesome food is an essential aspect of the internal market and contributes significantly to the health and well-being of citizens, and to their social and economic interests.

(2)

A high level of protection of human life and health should be assured in the pursuit of Community policies.

(3)

This Regulation replaces previous Directives and Decisions concerning food additives permitted for use in foods with a view to ensuring the effective functioning of the internal market and a high level of protection of human health and the environment, as well as the interests of consumers , including those consumers who are intolerant to certain substances, via comprehensive and streamlined procedures.

(4)

This Regulation harmonises the use of food additives in foods in the Community. This includes the use of food additives in foods covered by Council Directive 89/398/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (3) and the use of certain food colours for the health marking of meat and the decoration and stamping of eggs. It also harmonises the use of food additives in food additives and food enzymes thus ensuring their safety and quality and facilitating their storage and use. The last category has not previously been regulated at Community level.

(5)

Food additives are substances that are not normally consumed as food itself but are added to food intentionally for a technological purpose, such as the preservation of food. However, substances should not be considered as food additives when they are used for the purpose of imparting flavour and/or taste. Moreover, substances considered as foods which may be used for a technological function, such as sodium chloride or saffron for colouring and food enzymes should also not fall within the scope of this Regulation. Finally, as regard food enzymes, they are covered by Regulation (EC) No .../2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of ... [on food enzymes] (4), which excludes the application of this Regulation.

(6)

Substances not consumed as food itself but used intentionally in the processing of foods, which only remain as residues in the final food and do not have a technological effect in the final product (processing aids), should not be covered by this Regulation.

(7)

Food additives should be approved and used only if they fulfil the criteria laid down in this Regulation. Food additives must be safe when used, there must be a technological necessity for their use, their use must not mislead the consumer and their use must bring a benefit to the consumer. Misleading the consumer includes, but is not limited to, issues related to the quality of the ingredients used, the naturalness of a product or of the production process, its nutritional quality and its fruit and vegetable content .

(8)

Food additives must at all times comply with the approved specifications. The specification should include information to adequately identify the food additive, including origin and to describe the acceptable criteria of purity. The specifications previously developed for food additives included in Commission Directive 95/31/EC of 5 July 1995 laying down specific criteria of purity concerning sweeteners for use in foodstuffs (5), Commission Directive 95/45/EC of 26 July 1995 laying specific purity criteria concerning colours for use in foodstuffs (6) and Commission Directive 96/77/EC of 2 December 1996 laying down specific purity criteria on food additives other than colours and sweeteners (7) should be maintained until the corresponding additives are entered in the Annexes to this Regulation. At that time, the specifications related to such additives should be set out in a Regulation. Those specifications should relate directly to the additives included in the Community lists in the Annexes to this Regulation. However, considering the complex character and substance of such specifications for the sake of clarity, they should not be integrated as such in the those Community lists but should be set out in one or more separate Regulations.

(9)

Some food additives are permitted for specific uses for certain authorised oenological practices and processes. The use of such food additives should comply with this Regulation and with the specific provisions laid down in the relevant Community legislation.

(10)

In order to ensure uniformity, the risk assessment and approval of food additives should be carried out in accordance with the precautionary principle and the procedure laid down in Regulation (EC) No .../2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of ... [establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings]  (4).

(11)

Under Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (8) the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter referred to as‘the Authority’), is to be consulted on matters likely to affect public health.

(12)

A food additive which falls within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (9) should be authorised under that Regulation as well as under this Regulation.

(13)

A food additive already approved under this Regulation which is prepared by production methods or starting materials significantly different from those included in the risk assessment of the Authority, or different than those covered by the specifications laid down, should be submitted for evaluation by the Authority for an evaluation with emphasis on the specifications. Significantly different production methods or starting materials could mean a change of the production method from extraction from a plant to production by fermentation using a micro-organism or a genetic modification of the original micro-organism.

(14)

Food additives should be kept under continuous observation and must be re-evaluated whenever necessary in the light of changing conditions of use and new scientific information. Special evaluation programmes should be adopted to review authorisations granted.

(15)

Member States which have maintained prohibitions on the use of certain additives in certain specific foods which are considered traditional and are produced on their territory should be permitted to continue to apply those prohibitions. Moreover, as regard products such as ‘Feta’ or ‘Salame cacciatore’, the present Regulation is without prejudice to more restrictive rules linked to the use of certain denominations under Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (10) and Council Regulation (EC) No 509/2006 of 20 March 2006 on agricultural products and foodstuffs as traditional specialities guaranteed  (11).

(16)

Food additives remain subject to the general labelling obligations as provided for in Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs  (12) and, as the case may be, in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms  (13). In addition, specific provisions on labelling of food additives sold as such to the manufacturer or to the final consumer should be contained in this Regulation.

(17)

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (14).

(18)

In particular, the Commission should be empowered to update and amend the Community list of food additives to be established under this Regulation. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend or delete non-essential elements of this Regulation, or to supplement it by the addition of new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

(19)

In order to develop and update Community legislation on food additives in a proportionate and effective way, it is necessary to collect data, share information and coordinate work between Member States. For that purpose, it may be useful to undertake studies to address specific issues with the view to facilitating the decision-making process. It is appropriate that the Community may finance such studies as part of its budgetary procedure. The financing of such measures is covered by Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (15) and consequently the legal basis for the financing of the above measures will be Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.

(20)

Member States are to carry out official controls in order to enforce compliance with this Regulation in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.

(21)

Since the objective of the action to be taken, namely to lay down Community rules on food additives, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of market unity and the high level of consumer protection required, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

(22)

Following the adoption of this Regulation the Commission assisted by the Standing Committee on Food Chain and Animal Health should review all the existing authorisations on the basis of the conditions for authorisation laid down in this Regulation . All food additives that are to continue to be authorised in the Community should be transferred to the Community lists in Annexes II and III to this Regulation. Annex III to this Regulation should be completed with the other food additives used in food additives and enzymes and their conditions of use in accordance with Regulation (EC) No .../2008 [establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings]. To allow a suitable transition period, the provisions in Annex III, other than the provisions concerning carriers for food additives, should not apply until [1.1.2011].

(23)

Without prejudice to the outcome of that review, within one year following the adoption of this Regulation, the Commission should set up an evaluation programme for the Authority to re-evaluate the safety of the food additives that were already approved in the Community. That programme should define the needs and the order of priorities according to which the approved food additives are to be examined.

(24)

This Regulation repeals and replaces the following acts: Council Directive 62/2645/EEC on the approximation of the rules of the Member States concerning the colouring matters authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (16), ║ Council Directive 78/663/EEC of 25 July 1978 laying down specific criteria of purity for emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners and gelling agents for use in foodstuffs (17), Council Directive 78/664/EEC of 25 July 1978 laying down specific criteria of purity for antioxidants which may be used in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (18), First Commission Directive 81/712/EEC of 28 July 1981 laying down Community methods of analysis for verifying that certain additives used in foodstuffs satisfy criteria of purity (19), Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (20), European Parliament and Council Directive 94/35/EC ║ of 30 June 1994 on sweeteners for use in foodstuffs (21), Directive 94/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 1994 on colours for use in foodstuffs (22), Directive 95/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners (23) as well as Decision No 292/97/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 1996 on the maintenance of national laws prohibiting the use of certain additives in the production of certain specific foodstuffs (24) and Commission Decision 2002/247/EC of 27 March 2002 suspending the placing on the market and import of jelly confectionary containing the food additive E 425 konjac (25). However, it is appropriate that certain provisions of those acts remain in force during a transitional period to allow time for the preparation of the Community lists in the Annexes to this Regulation,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(d)

it does not, on the basis of the scientific evidence available, entail any adverse environmental effects during any part of its life cycle.

2.   To be included in the Community lists in Annexes II and III a food additive must have advantages and benefits for the consumer and therefore serve one or more of the following purposes:

(a)

preserving the nutritional quality of the food;

(b)

providing necessary ingredients or constituents for foods manufactured for groups of consumers with special dietary needs;

(c)

enhancing the keeping quality or stability of a food or improving its organoleptic properties, provided that the nature, substance or quality of the food is not changed in such a way as to mislead the consumer . Misleading the consumer includes, but is not limited to, issues related to freshness and quality of the ingredients used, naturalness of a product and fruit and vegetable content ;

(d)

aiding in the manufacture, processing, preparation, treatment, packing, transport or storage of food, provided that the food additive is not used to disguise the effects of the use of faulty raw materials or of any undesirable practices or techniques, including unhygienic practices or techniques, during the course of any such activities.

producing food intended for particular nutritional uses as defined in Article 1(2)(a) of Directive 89/398/EEC.

Article 7

Specific conditions for colours

A food additive may be included in the Community list in Annex II for the functional class of colour only if, in addition to serving one or more of the purposes set out in Article 5(2), it also serves one of the following purposes:

(a)

restoring the original appearance of food of which the colour has been affected by processing, storage, packaging and distribution, whereby visual acceptability may have been impaired;

(b)

making food more visually appealing;

(c)

giving colour to food otherwise colourless.

There must, however, be no risk of the additive misleading consumers into believing that the food contains ingredients other than those actually present.

Article 8

Functional classes of food additives

1.   Food additives may be assigned to one of the functional classes in Annex I on the basis of the principal technological function of the food additive.

Allocating a food additive to a functional class shall not preclude it from being used for several functions.

‘colours’ are substances which add or restore colour in a food, and include natural constituents of foods and natural sources which are normally not consumed as foods as such and not normally used as characteristic ingredients of food. Preparations obtained from foods and other natural source materials obtained by physical and/or chemical extraction resulting in a selective extraction of the pigments relative to the nutritive or aromatic constituents are colours within the meaning of this Regulation.

3.

‘preservatives’ are substances which prolong the shelf-life of foods by protecting them against deterioration caused by micro-organisms;

4.

‘antioxidants’ are substances which prolong the shelf-life of foods by protecting them against deterioration caused by oxidation, such as fat rancidity and colour changes;

5.

‘carriers’, are substances used to dissolve, dilute, disperse or otherwise physically modify a food additive or a flavouring , food enzyme nutrient and/or other substance added for nutritional or physiological purposes to a foodstuff (or food and/or food supplement) without altering its function (and without exerting any technological effect themselves) in order to facilitate its handling, application or use;

10.

‘bulking agents’ are substances which contribute to the volume of a foodstuff without contributing significantly to its available energy value;

11.

‘emulsifiers’ are substances which make it possible to form or maintain a homogenous mixture of two or more immiscible phases such as oil and water in a foodstuff;

12.

‘emulsifying salts’ are substances which convert proteins contained in cheese into a dispersed form and thereby bring about homogenous distribution of fat and other components;

‘propellants’ are gases other than air which expel a foodstuff from a container;

22.

‘raising agents’ are substances or combinations of substances which liberate gas and thereby increase the volume of a dough or a batter;

23.

‘sequestrants’ are substances which form chemical complexes with metallic ions;

24.

‘stabiliser’ are substances which make it possible to maintain the physico-chemical state of a foodstuff; stabilisers include substances which enable the maintenance of a homogenous dispersion of two or more immiscible substances in a foodstuff, substances which stabilise, retain or intensify an existing colour of a foodstuff and substances which increase the binding capacity of the food, including the formation of cross-links between proteins enabling the binding of food pieces into re-constituted food.

25.

‘thickeners’ are substances which increase the viscosity of a foodstuff;

26.

‘flour treatment agents’ are substances, other than emulsifiers, which are added to flour or dough to improve its baking quality.

(Codecision procedure: first reading)

The European Parliament,

—

having regard to the Commission proposal to the European Parliament and the Council (COM(2006)0425) (1),

—

having regard to Article 251(2) and Articles 37 and 95 of the EC Treaty, pursuant to which the Commission submitted the proposal to Parliament (C6-0257/2006),

—

having regard to the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs on the proposed legal basis,

—

having regard to Rules 51 and 35 of its Rules of Procedure,

—

having regard to the report of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety and the opinion of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (A6-0177/2007),

P6_TC1-COD(2006)0144

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 10 July 2007 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on food enzymes and amending Council Directive 83/417/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 258/97, Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, Directive 2000/13/EC, and Council Directive 2001/112/EC

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ║,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

(1)

The free movement of safe and wholesome food is an essential aspect of the internal market and contributes significantly to the health and well-being of citizens, and to their social and economic interests.

(2)

A high level of protection of human life and health should be assured in the pursuit of Community policies.

(3)

Enzymes other than those used as food additives are not currently regulated or are regulated as processing aids under the legislation of the Member States. Differences between national laws, regulations and administrative provisions concerning the assessment and authorisation of food enzymes ▐ hinder their free movement, creating conditions for unequal and unfair competition. It is therefore necessary to adopt Community rules harmonising national provisions relating to the use of enzymes in foods.

(4)

This Regulation should only cover enzymes that are added to food to perform a technological function in the manufacture, processing, preparation, treatment, packaging, transport or storage of such food, including enzymes used as processing aids (‘food enzymes’). The scope of this Regulation should therefore not extend to enzymes that are not added to food to perform a technological function but are intended for human consumption, such as enzymes for nutritional or digestive purposes. Microbial cultures traditionally used in the production of food, such as cheese and ║ wine, and which may contain enzymes but are not specifically used to produce them should not be considered food enzymes.

(5)

Food enzymes used exclusively in the production of food additives falling within the scope of ║ Regulation (EC) No ... of the European Parliament and of the Council of ... [on food additives] (3), flavourings falling within the scope of ║ Regulation (EC) No ... of the European Parliament and of the Council of ... [on flavourings and certain food ingredients with flavouring properties for use in and on foods] (3) ║ and novel foods falling within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (4) should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation, since the safety of these foods is already assessed and regulated. However, when these food enzymes are used as such in food, they are covered by this Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 258/97 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

Food enzymes should be approved and used only if they fulfil the criteria laid down in this Regulation. Food enzymes should be safe when used, there should be a technological need for their use , ▐ their use should not mislead the consumer and their use should be of benefit t
