"Today in plenary, we adopted Mr Perello Rodriguez’s report, which refers to the need to adopt the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 2001/112/EC relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption.
The rapporteur highlighted the importance of supporting the European fruit juice sector by bringing the directive into line with international law and the Codex Alimentarius in order to contribute towards the free movement of these products, and also to clarify the rules on labelling, classification, authorised ingredients and the admissibility of certain practices.
The directive must improve the dual denomination distinguishing pressed juices from those made from concentrate; indeed in practice, consumers find it hard to distinguish between the different categories. It is important to clarify this difference in terms of the presence or absence of sugar in these products, which is an issue of concern to consumer groups with specific needs. The rapporteur accepts harmless practices, such as the addition of mandarin juice to orange juice, which can intensify its colour and flavour, in order to encourage the marketing of products. It is important to back up these measures with information campaigns enabling consumers to know what they are buying."@en1
