om forslag til Kommissionens direktiv om ændring af direktiv 90/128/EØF om plastmaterialer og -genstande

bestemt til at komme i berøring med levnedsmidler

Dokument SANCO/2001/2779-rev 1

Forslaget kan blive sat til afstemning på mødet i Den Stående Levnedsmiddelkomité den 17. – 18. december 2001.

Forslaget behandles i en III a-procedure i Den Stående Komité for Levnedsmidler. Hvis der er kvalificeret flertal, udsteder

Kommissionen direktivet. Opnås der ikke kvalificeret flertal, forlægger Kommissionen sagen for Rådet, der kan vedtage

forslaget uændret med kvalificeret flertal eller ændre det med enstemmighed. Handler Rådet ikke inden en frist på højst tre

måneder, kan Kommissionen udst ede direktivet.

Formålet med forslaget er at regulere anvendelsen af materialer og genstande bestemt til at komme i berøring med fødevarer

på fællesskabsplan med henblik på at undgå risici for menneskers sundhed.

Forslaget til ændring af plastdirektivet, direktiv 90/128/EØF, indeholder følgende hovedpunkter:

1. Indførelse af restriktion for divinylbenzen i form af forbud mod fremstilling og import i Fællesskabet af materialer og

genstande, der indeholder divinylbenzen, fra den 1. december 2002.

2. Justering af restriktioner for isocyanater ( af redaktionel karakter).

3. Udvidelse af listen over additiver (tilsætningsstoffer), der må anvendes i plast, i bilag III i direktiv 90/128/EØF samt

optagelse af visse monomerer (bestanddele i plaststoffer) på fællesskabslisten over tilladte stoffer.

De foreslåede ændringer i punkt 3 berører stoffer, der tillades anvendt i plastmaterialer til opbygning af materialet.

Ændringerne følger anbefalingerne fra Den videnskabelige Komité for Levnedsmidler, der har vurderet de sundhedsmæssige

aspekter ved en evt. migration (afsmitning) af stofferne fra materialet til fødevaren.

Forslaget skønnes at ville øge beskyttelsesniveauet i Danmark, idet det medfører en præcisering af reglerne. Virksomhederne

har i dag selv ansvaret for at regulere de stoffer, der ikke er på positivlisten og da forslaget indebærer, at flere stoffer kommer

på positivlisten, vurderes forslaget at ville øge beskyttelsesniveauet.

Regeringen agter på den baggrund at stemme for forslaget.

om forslag til Kommissionens direktiv om ændring af direktiv 90/128/EØF om plastmaterialer og -genstande

bestemt til at komme i berøring med levnedsmidler

Dokument SANCO/2001/2779-rev 1

Resumé

Kommissionens forslag til ændring af plastdirektivet 90/128/EØF har til formål at regulere anvendelsen af

materialer og genstande bestemt til at komme i berøring med fødevarer.

Forslaget indeholder tre følgende hovedpunkter:

1. En indførsel af restriktion for divinylbenzyn i form af forbud mod fremstilling og import i Fællesskabet

af materialer og genstande, der indeholder divinylbenzan.

2. Forslaget vil indebære en justering af restriktioner for isocyanater.

3. Udvidelse af listen over tilsætningsstoffer i bilag III i direktiv 90/128/EØF, der må anvendes i plast.

De foreslåede ændringeri punkt 3 berører stoffer, der tillades anvendt i plastmaterialer til opbygning af

materialet. Ændringerne følger anbefalingerne fra Den videnskabelige Komité for Levnedsmidler, der har

vurderet de sundhedsmæssige aspekter ved en evt. afsmitning af stofferne fra materialet til fødevaren.

En vedtagelse af forslaget skønnes at ville øge beskyttelsesniveauet i Danmark, idet det vil medføre en

præcisering af reglerne. Forslaget indebærer, at flere stoffer vil komme på positivlisten. Da virksomhederne

hidtil har haft ansvaret for at regulere de stoffer, som ikke var på positivlisten, vurderes forslaget at ville øge

beskyttelsesniveauet.

Baggrund

Kommissionen har ved dokument SANCO/2001/2779-rev 1 den 26. november 2001 fremsendt forslag til

Kommissionens direktiv om ændring af Kommissionens direktiv 90/128/EØF af 23. februar 1990 om plastmaterialer og

–genstande bestemt til at komme i berøring med levnedsmidler. Forslaget kan blive sat til afstemning på mødet i Den

Stående Levnedsmiddelkomité den 17. – 18. december 2001.

Forslaget er fremsat med hjemmel i artikel 3 i Rådets direktiv 89/109/EØF af 21. december 1988 om indbyrdes

tilnærmelse af medlemslandenes lovgivning om materialer og genstande bestemt til at komme i berøring med

levnedsmidler.

Forslaget behandles i en III a-procedure i Den Stående Komité for Levnedsmidler. Hvis der er kvalificeret flertal,

udsteder Kommissionen direktivet. Opnås der ikke kvalificeret flertal, forelægger Kommissionen sagen for Rådet, der

kan vedtage forslaget uændret med kvalificeret flertal eller ændre det med enstemmighed. Handler Rådet ikke inden en

frist på højst tre måneder, kan Kommissionen udstede direktivet.

Nærheds- og proportionalitetsprincippet

Ved at fastlægge harmoniserede grænseværdier og samtidigt at sikre et reduceret indtag af migration (afsmitning) af

stoffer fra plast og genstande til fødevarer, styrkes det indre marked under opretholdelse at et højt beskyttelsesniveau.

Forslaget anses derfor for at være i overensstemmelse med nærheds- og proportionalitetsprincippet.

Formål og indhold

Formålet med forslaget er at regulere anvendelsen af materialer og genstande bestemt til at komme i berøring med

fødevarer på fællesskabsplan med henblik på at undgå risici for menneskers sundhed.

Forslaget til ændring af plastdirektivet, direktiv 90/128/EØF, indeholder følgende hovedpunkter:

1. Indførelse af restriktion for divinylbenzen i form af forbud mod fremstilling og import i Fællesskabet af materialer

og genstande, der indeholder divinylbenzen, fra den 1. december 2002.

1. Justering af restriktioner for isocyanater (af redaktionel karakter).

1. Udvidelse af listen over additiver (tilsætningsstoffer), der må anvendes i plast, i bilag III i direktiv 90/128/EØF

samt optagelse af visse monomerer (bestanddele i plaststoffer) på fællesskabslisten over tilladte stoffer.

De forslåede ændringer i punkt 3 berører stoffer, der tillades anvendt i plastmaterialer til opbygning af materialet.

Ændringerne følger anbefalingerne fra Den Videnskabelige Komité for Levnedsmidler, der har vurderet de

sundhedsmæssige aspekter ved en evt. migration (afsmitning) af stofferne fra materialet til fødevaren.

Udtalelser

Europa-Parlamentet skal ikke udtale sig om forslaget.

Gældende dansk ret

Stofferne er reguleret i Bekendtgørelse nr. 1215 af 18. december 2000 om materialer og genstande bestemt til at komme i

berøring med fødevarer.

Konsekvenser

Vedtagelse af forslaget implementeres ved ændring af bekendtgørelse om materialer og genstande.

Forslaget skønnes ikke at få statsfinansielle eller samfundsøkonomiske konsekvenser for Danmark.

En vedtagelse af forslaget skønnes at ville øge beskyttelsesniveauet i Danmark, idet det medfører en præcisering af

reglerne. Virksomhederne har i dag selv ansvaret for at regulere de stoffer, der ikke er på positivlisten og da forslaget

indebærer, at flere stoffer kommer på positivlisten, vurderes forslaget at ville øge beskyttelsesniveauet.

Høring

amending Directive 90/128/EEC relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with

foodstuffs.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 89/109/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member

States relating to materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, and in particular Article 3 thereof,

After consulting the Scientific Committee on Food,

Whereas:

(1) On the basis of the new information available to the Scientific Committee on Food, certain monomers provisionally

admitted at national level as well as other monomers requested for use following the adoption of Commission Directive

90/128/EEC of 23 February 1990 relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs,

as last amended by Directive 2001/62/EC, may be included in the Community list of admitted substances.

(2) Annex III to Directive 90/128/EEC includes a list of additives, which should be amended so as to include other

additives evaluated by the Scientific Committee on Food.

(3) For certain substances, the restrictions already established at Community level should be amended on the basis of the

information available.

(4) The current total list of additives is an incomplete list inasmuch as it does not contain all the substances, which are

currently accepted in one or more Member States. Accordingly, these substances continue to be regulated by national

laws only pending a decision on inclusion in the Community list.

(5) This Directive establishes specifications for only a few substances, and therefore the other substances, which may

require specifications, remain regulated in this respect by national laws only pending a decision at Community level.

(6) In accordance with the principle of proportionality, it is necessary and appropriate for the achievement of the basic

objective of ensuring the free movement of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, to

lay down rules on the definition of plastics and admitted substances. This Directive confines itself to what is necessary in

order to achieve the objectives pursued in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 5 of the Treaty.

(7) Directive 90/128/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on

Foodstuffs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Annexes II, III, V and VI of Directive 90/128/EEC are amended as set out in Annexes I to IV to this Directive.
