". – In July 2002 the Commission adopted a proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive amending Directive 94/35/EC on sweeteners for use in foodstuffs. The main objective of this proposal is to authorise two new sweeteners that have received a favourable opinion by the Scientific Committee on Food: Sucralose and the salt of aspartame and acesulfame.
Furthermore, the Commission proposes to reduce the intake of cyclamate, as an already authorised sweetener, for which the Scientific Committee on Food has considerably lowered the acceptable daily intake. To this end, the Commission proposed to reduce the amount of cyclamates permitted in soft drinks and to prohibit their use in a series of other foodstuffs, such as confectionery, chewing gum and ice cream.
The Commission also proposed to decide in comitology whether a substance fulfils the definition of a sweetener as laid down in the directive. Such a decision is of technical nature and can already be taken by comitology for all other food additives according to existing legislation. It is necessary to have a formal tool to bring certain substances under the scope of the food additive legislation. This is in the interest of consumer protection."@en1
