COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 26 January 1965 laying down specific criteria of purity for preservatives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (65/66/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;

Having regard to the Council Directive of 5 November 1963 (1) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning the preservatives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption, and in particular Article 8 thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Whereas, under Article 7 of the Directive of 5 November 1963, preservatives must satisfy certain specific criteria of purity laid down, where appropriate, and in accordance with Article 8 (1) of that Directive;

Whereas it is necessary to lay down specific criteria of purity for all the preservatives listed in the Annex to the Directive of 5 November 1963 ; whereas in certain Member States it is not possible to apply such criteria simultaneously with the laws amended in pursuance of that Directive and it is therefore desirable to set 1 June 1966 as the date by which the criteria are to apply;

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

The specific criteria of purity referred to in Article 7 (b) of the Directive of 5 November 1963 are given in the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2

Member States shall so amend their laws in accordance with the provisions of Article 1 that by 1 June 1966 the new measures apply to preservatives placed on the market.

Article 3

This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 26 January 1965.

For the Council

The President

M. COUVE DE MURVILLE
