lpv:translated text	"Many people in Europe take vitamins and mineral supplements. It is therefore appropriate, as part of European consumer policy, to avoid any abuse of these substances and to ensure that the products offered to consumers are of high quality. This recommendation meets these aspirations, in particular by proposing an adequate European legal framework which does not hinder the free movement of these products, while guaranteeing increased health protection for the consumer and accurate and appropriate information on the products available. One of the factors which is crucial to the safety of these products is the maximum quantity of minerals which they contain. That is why setting maximum limits for the quantities of vitamins and minerals authorised in food supplements is important for ensuring that they are taken in moderation. This is because scientific opinions show that absorbing excessive quantities of certain vitamins and minerals may have undesirable or harmful effects. In addition, the list of these substances should not be set in stone because other products with nutritional or physiological effects could be incorporated into the provisions. On the basis of the experience it gains in this field, I should like the Commission to present to the European Parliament and the Council additional proposals, accompanied by appropriate legal measures, on other nutriments and substances which can have comparable effects to food supplements."@en1
