The free movement of safe and wholesome foodstuffs is an essential aspect of the internal market and contributes significantly to the health and well-being of citizens, and to their social and economic interests. The Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 2009 on foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses lays down general rules on the composition and preparation of such foodstuffs that are specially designed to meet the particular nutritional requirements of the persons for whom they are intended. However, experience shows that certain rules contained in the directive in question or adopted on the basis of the directive are no longer effective in ensuring the functioning of the internal market. I believe that the concept of ‘foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses’ should be abandoned, and the directive replaced by a legal act in the form of a regulation in order to simplify its application and guarantee that is consistent in all Member States. At the same time, I consider it essential to establish procedures for the adoption of emergency measures in cases where foodstuffs covered by this regulation pose a serious risk to human health. In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of these emergency measures, the implementing powers should be transferred to the Commission. The Commission should then adopt applicable implementing acts relating to the emergency measures in duly justified cases relating to public health that require serious and compelling reasons."@en1
