"The Ries report has fulfilled its primary objective by providing consumers with the appropriate information on food for special medical purposes and food intended for infants and young children. We have managed to achieve greater clarity in the qualification and labelling of foodstuffs that are of key significance for certain groups of the population, such as infants and young children, as well as patients requiring special diets. Particularly valuable are provisions which incorporate into the regulation gluten-free food and food used in low and very low calorie diets, as well as the exclusion from the composition of categories of foods of any substances that are liable to be harmful to the health of the groups of population concerned. Provisions concerning foods intended for low birth weight or premature infants who cannot be fed breastmilk or standard infant formulas are particularly significant. Such foodstuffs will have to comply with the criteria applied to food for special medical purposes. The recommendation to limit pesticide residues in food for infants and young children is another significant change. The implementation of these provisions will have implications for food business operators producing this type of food, since change to labelling will be necessary. The Commission has provided for transition periods during which it will be possible to use packaging labelled in accordance with the current regulations. This report will help make European society healthier, reduce administrative burdens and contribute to fair competition between businesses throughout the European Union."@en1
