text: 210 BG Официален вестник на Европейския съюз 11/т. 20 32000D0244 28. 3. 2000 ОФИЦИАЛЕН ВЕСТНИК НА ЕВРОПЕЙСКИТЕ ОБЩНОСТИ L 77/11 РЕШЕНИЕ НА СЪВЕТА от 20 март 2000 година за изменение на Решение 97/787/ЕО относно отпускането на извънредна финансова помощ на Армения и Грузия, с оглед разширяването ѝ(cid:65) и за Таджикистан (2000/244/ЕО) СЪВЕТЪТ НА ЕВРОПЕЙСКИЯ СЪЮЗ, като взе предвид Договора за създаване на Европейската общност, и по-специално член 308 от него, като взе предвид предложението на Комисията, като взе предвид становището на Европейски парламент (1), като има предвид, че: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Решение 97/787/ЕО на Съвета отпуска извънредна финан- сова помощ на Армения и на Грузия (2). Паралелно с неговото решение да отпусне извънредна финансова помощ на Армения и на Грузия, Съветът се съгласи да предвиди също подобна операция в полза на Таджикистан веднага, след като условията го позволят. Таджикистан започва основни политически и икономиче- ски реформи и полага значителни усилия с цел да приложи модел на пазарна икономика. С оглед на техните първоначални резултати, особено по отношение на растежа и на овладяване на инфлацията, тези реформи следва да бъдат продължени с приоритетна цел да подобрят условията на живот на населението и да създадат работни места. Търговските, пазарните и икономическите връзки между Общността и Таджикистан се очаква да се развиват. Таджикистан за сключването на Споразумение за партньорство и сътрудни- чество с Европейските общности и нейните държави- необходимите изпълнява условия (6) (7) (8) (9) членки и официално поиска да се възползва от едно такова споразумение при първа възможност. През юни 1998 г. , Таджикистан се споразумя с Междуна- родния валутен фонд (МВФ) за отпускането на разширеното финансиране на структурната реформа (РФСР) за срок от три години. Таджикските власти са се ангажирали официално да пое- мат изцяло покриването на техните финансови задължения спрямо Общността. Таджикистан осигурява минимално обслужване на покриването на своя дълг към Общността. Таджикските власти официално поискаха извънредна финансова помощ от Общността. Таджикистан е държава с ниски доходи, изправена пред социална, икономическа и изключително критична политическа ситуация. Тази страна може да се възползва от заеми, отпуснати от Световната банка и МВФ при много изгодни условия. (10) Финансовата помощ, отпусната от Общността при префе- ренциални условия под формата на дългосрочен заем и дарения, е мярка, способна да подпомогне в този критичен момент страната бенефициер. (11) Тази помощ, независимо дали става въпрос за графа „заеми“ или графа „дарения“, е напълно извънредна и поради това не представлява по никакъв начин прецедент. (12) Включването на графа „дарения“ в тази помощ не засяга правомощията на бюджетната власт. (13) Помощта следва да бъде управлявана от Комисията. (1) Становище от 17 декември 1999 г. (все още непубликувано в Офи- циален вестник). (2) ОВ L 322, 25. 11. 1997 г. , стр. 37. (14) Комисията трябва да осигурява, финансовата помощ да бъде използвана при спазване на правилата за бюджетен конт- рол. 11/т. 20 BG Официален вестник на Европейския съюз 211 (15) За изготвянето на настоящото решение, Комисията над- лежно ще взема предвид осъществения напредък в рамките на вътрешния мирен процес в Таджикистан, и по-специално на провеждането на избори при приемливи условия. (16) Комисията се е консултирала с Икономическия и финансов комитет преди да представи своето предложение. (17) За приемането на настоящото решение, Договорът не пред- вижда други възможности, освен тези от член 308, РЕШИ: Член единствен Решение 97/787/ЕО се изменя, както следва: 1. В член 1, параграфи 1—3 се заменят със следното: „1. Общността отпуска на Армения, на Грузия и на Таджикистан извънредна финансова помощ под формата на дългосрочни заеми и дарения. 2. Графа „заеми“ от тази помощ е в общ размер на 245 млн. EUR като цяло, за срок, който не може да превиши петнадесет години и гратисен период от десет години. За тази цел, Коми- сията е оправомощена да заеме от името на Общността необ- ходимите средства, които ще бъдат предоставени на страните бенефициери под формата на заеми. 3. Графа „дарения“ от тази помощ е в общ размер на 130 млн. EUR за периода 1997—2004 г. и максимум 24 млн. EUR годишно. Даренията ще бъдат предоставени като нетната дебитна позиция на страните бенефициери спрямо Общността е била намалена по правило с поне еквивалентна сума. “ 2. Член 3, параграф 1 се заменя със следния текст: „1. Съгласно разпоредбите на член 1, параграф 4 и на член 2, общата сума на отпуснатия на всяка държава заем е освободена едновременно с първия транш от даренията. Останалата част от графа „дарения“ е освободена от Комисията на последователни траншове, съгласно същите условия. “ 3. В член 5, параграф 2 се заменя със следния текст: „2. Преди 31 декември 2004 г. , Съветът разглежда прилага- нето на настоящото решение до тази дата на основата на подробен доклад на Комисията, който се предоставя също така и на Европейския парламент. “ Съставено в Брюксел на 20 март 2000 година.

text: 6. 5. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 109/29 DIRECTIVE 2000/13/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof, Having regard to the proposal of the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (1), Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2), Whereas: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (3) has been frequently and substantially amended (4). Therefore, for reasons of clarity and ration- ality, the said Directive should be consolidated in a single text. Differences between the laws, regulations and adminis- trative provisions of the Member States on the labelling of foodstuffs may impede the free circulation of these products and can lead to unequal conditions of competition. Therefore, approximation of these laws would contrib- ute to the smooth functioning of the internal market. The purpose of this Directive should be to enact Community rules of a general nature applicable horizon- tally to all foodstuffs put on the market. Rules of a specific nature which apply vertically only to particular foodstuffs should be laid down in provisions dealing with those products. The prime consideration for any rules on the labelling of foodstuffs should be the need to inform and protect the consumer. That need means that Member States may, in compli- ance with the rules of impose language requirements. the Treaty, (1) OJ C 258, 10. 9. 1999, p. 12. (2) Opinion of the European Parliament of 18 January 2000 (not yet and Council Decision of Journal) published in the Official 13 March 2000. (3) OJ L 33, 8. 2. 1979, p. 1. Directive as last amended by Directive 97/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 43, 14. 2. 1997, p. 21). (4) See Annex IV, Part B. (8) (9) Detailed labelling, in particular giving the exact nature and characteristics of the product which enables the consumer to make his choice in full knowledge of the facts, is the most appropriate since it creates fewest obstacles to free trade. Therefore, a list should be drawn up of all information which should in principle be included in the labelling of all foodstuffs. (10) However, the horizontal nature of this Directive does not allow, at the inclusion in the the initial stage, compulsory indications of all the indications which must be added to the list applying in principle to the whole range of foodstuffs. During a later stage, Community provisions should be adopted, aimed at supplementing the existing rules. (11) (12) (13) (14) Furthermore, in the absence of Community rules of a specific nature Member States should retain the right to lay down certain national provisions which may be added to the general provisions of this Directive, never- to a theless Community procedure. these provisions should be subject The said Community procedure must be that of a Community decision when a Member State wishes to enact new legislation. Provision should also be made for the Community legis- lator to derogate, in exceptional cases, from certain obli- gations that have been fixed generally. The rules on labelling should also prohibit the use of information that would mislead the purchaser or attri- bute medicinal properties to foodstuffs. To be effective, this prohibition should also apply to the presentation and advertising of foodstuffs. (15) With a view to facilitating trade between Member States, it may be provided that, at stages prior to sale to the ultimate consumer, only information on the essential elements should appear on the outer packaging and certain mandatory particulars that must appear on a prepackaged foodstuff need appear only on commercial documents referring thereto. (16) Member States should retain the right, depending on local practical conditions and circumstances, to lay down rules in respect of the labelling of foodstuffs sold in bulk; in such cases, information should nevertheless be provided for the consumer. L 109/30 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 5. 2000 (17) With the aim of simplifying and accelerating the pro- cedure, the Commission should be entrusted with the task of adopting implementing measures of a technical nature. (18) (19) The measures necessary for the implementing of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (1). This Directive should be without prejudice to the obliga- tions of the Member States concerning the time limits for transposition of the Directives set out in Annex IV, Part B, (b) subject to Community provisions applicable to natural mineral waters and foodstuffs for particular nutritional uses, attribute to any foodstuff the property of preventing, treating or curing a human disease, or refer to such properties. 2. The Council, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 95 of the Treaty, shall draw up a non-exhaustive list of the claims within the meaning of paragraph 1, the use of which must at all events be prohibited or restricted. The prohibitions or restrictions referred to in paragraphs 3. 1 and 2 shall also apply to: (a) the presentation of foodstuffs, in particular their shape, appearance or packaging, the packaging materials used, the way in which they are arranged and the setting in which they are displayed; HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: (b) advertising.

For the purpose of this Directive, (a) ‘labelling’ shall mean any words, particulars, trade marks, brand name, pictorial matter or symbol relating to a food- stuff and placed on any packaging, document, notice, label, ring or collar accompanying or referring to such foodstuff; (b) ‘pre-packaged foodstuff’ shall mean any single item for presentation as such to the ultimate consumer and to mass caterers, consisting of a foodstuff and the packaging into which it was put before being offered for sale, whether such packaging encloses the foodstuff completely or only partially, but in any case in such a way that the contents cannot be altered without opening or changing the packaging. Article 2 1. The labelling and methods used must not: (a) be such as could mislead the purchaser to a material degree, particularly: (i) as to the characteristics of the foodstuff and, in par- ticular, as to its nature, identity, properties, composi- tion, quantity, durability, origin or provenance, method of manufacture or production; (ii) by attributing to the foodstuff effects or properties which it does not possess; (iii) by suggesting that the foodstuff possesses special char- acteristics when in fact all similar foodstuffs possess such characteristics; (1) OJ L 184, 17. 7. 1999, p. 23. 1. In accordance with Articles 4 to 17 and subject to the exceptions contained therein, indication of the following par- ticulars alone shall be compulsory on the labelling of food- stuffs: (1) the name under which the product is sold; (2) the list of ingredients; (3) the quantity of certain ingredients or categories of ingredi- ents as provided for in Article 7; (4) in the case of prepackaged foodstuffs, the net quantity; (5) the date of minimum durability or, in the case of food- stuffs which, from the microbiological point of view, are highly perishable, the ‘use by’ date; (6) any special storage conditions or conditions of use; (7) the name or business name and address of the manufac- turer or packager, or of a seller established within the Community. the Member States shall be authorised, in However, respect of butter produced in their territory, to require only an indication of the manufacturer, packager or seller. Without prejudice to the notification provided for in Article 24, Member States shall inform the Commission and the other Member States of any measure taken pursuant to the second paragraph; (8) particulars of the place of origin or provenance where such particulars might mislead the failure consumer to a material degree as to the true origin or provenance of the foodstuff; to give (9) instructions for use when it would be impossible to make appropriate use of the foodstuff in the absence of such instructions; (10) with respect to beverages containing more than 1,2 % by the actual alcoholic strength by volume of alcohol, volume. 6. 5. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 109/31 Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, Member States 2. may retain national provisions which require indication of the factory or packaging centre, in respect of home production. The provisions of this Article shall be without prejudice 3. to more precise or more extensive provisions regarding weights and measures. Article 4 1. Community provisions applicable to specified foodstuffs and not to foodstuffs in general may provide for derogations, in exceptional cases, from the requirements laid down in Article 3(1), points 2 and 5, provided that this does not result in the purchaser being inadequately informed. Community provisions applicable to specified foodstuffs 2. and not to foodstuffs in general may provide that other par- ticulars in addition to those listed in Article 3 must appear on the labelling. Where there are no Community provisions, Member States may make provision for such particulars in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 19. 3. The Community provisions referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 20(2). (c) In exceptional cases, the sales name of the Member State of production shall not be used in the Member State of marketing when the foodstuff which it designates is so different, as regards its composition or manufacture, from the foodstuff known under that name that the provisions of point (b) are not sufficient to ensure, in the Member State of marketing, correct information for consumers. 2. No trade mark, brand name or fancy name may be substituted for the name under which the product is sold. 3. The name under which the product is sold shall include or be accompanied by particulars as to the physical condition of the foodstuff or the specific treatment which it has under- gone (e. g. powdered, freeze-dried, deep-frozen, concentrated, smoked) in all cases where omission of such information could create confusion in the mind of the purchaser.

(a) In the absence of Community provisions, the name under which a product is sold shall be the name provided for in the laws, regulations and administrative provisions applic- able in the Member State in which the product is sold to the final consumer or to mass caterers. Failing this, the name under which a product is sold shall be the name customary in the Member State in which it is sold to the final consumer or to mass caterers, or a descrip- tion of the foodstuff, and if necessary of its use, which is clear enough to let the purchaser know its true nature and distinguish it from other products with which it might be confused. (b) The use in the Member State of marketing of the sales name under which the product is legally manufactured and marketed in the Member State of production shall also be allowed. — in France: ‘traité par rayonnements ionisants’ or ‘traité par ionisation’, — in Italian: ‘irradiato’ or ‘trattato con radiazioni ionizzanti’, — in Dutch: ‘doorstraald’ or ioniserende stralen behandeld’, ‘door bestraling behandeld’ or ‘met — in Portuguese: ‘irradiado’ or ‘tratado por irradiação’ or ‘tratado por radi- ação ionizante’, — in Finnish: ‘säteilytetty’ or ‘käsitelty ionisoivalla säteilyllä’, — in Swedish: ‘bestrålad’ or ‘behandlad med joniserande strålning’. Article 6 However, where the application of the other provisions of this Directive, in particular those set out in Article 3, would not enable consumers in the Member State of marketing to know the true nature of the foodstuff and to distinguish it from foodstuffs with which they could confuse it, the sales name shall be accompanied by other descriptive informa- tion which shall appear in proximity to the sales name. Ingredients shall be listed in accordance with this Article 1. and Annexes I, II and III. 2. Ingredients need not be listed in the case of: (a) — fresh fruit and vegetables, including potatoes, which have not been peeled, cut or similarly treated, L 109/32 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 5. 2000 — carbonated water, the description of which indicates However: that it has been carbonated, — fermentation vinegars derived exclusively from a single basic product, provided that no other ingredient has been added; (b) — cheese, — butter, — fermented milk and cream, provided that no ingredient has been added other than lactic products, enzymes and micro-organism cultures essential to manufacture, or the salt needed for the manufacture of cheese other than fresh cheese and processed cheese; (c) products comprising a single ingredient, where: — the trade name is identical with the ingredient name, or — the trade name enables the nature of the ingredient to be clearly identified. In the case of beverages containing more than 1,2 % by 3. volume of alcohol, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, shall, before 22 December 1982, determine the rules for labelling ingredients. 4. (a) ‘Ingredient’ shall mean any substance, including addi- tives, used in the manufacture or preparation of a food- stuff and still present in the finished product, even if in altered form. — added water and volatile products shall be listed in order of their weight in the finished product; the amount of water added as an ingredient in a foodstuff shall be calculated by deducting from the total amount of the finished product the total amount of ingredients used.

Ingredients shall be designated by their specific name, where applicable, in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 5. (c) The following shall not be regarded as ingredients: However: (i) the constituents of an ingredient which have been temporarily separated during the manufacturing process and later reintroduced but not in excess of their original proportions; (ii) additives: — whose presence in a given foodstuff is solely due to the fact that they were contained in one or more ingredients of that foodstuff, provided that they serve no technological function in the finished product, — which are used as processing aids; (iii) substances used in the quantities strictly necessary as solvents or media for additives or flavouring. (d) In certain cases Decisions may be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 20(2) as to whether the conditions described in point (c)(ii) and (iii) are satisfied. 5. The list of ingredients shall include all the ingredients of the foodstuff, in descending order of weight, as recorded at the time of their use in the manufacture of the foodstuff. It shall appear preceded by a suitable heading which includes the word ‘ingredients’. — ingredients which belong to one of the categories listed in Annex I and are constituents of another foodstuff need only be designated by the name of that category. Alterations to the list of categories in Annex I may be effected in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 20(2). However, the designation ‘starch’ listed in Annex I must always be complemented by the indication of its specific vegetable origin, when that ingredient may contain gluten, — ingredients belonging to one of the categories listed in Annex II must be designated by the name of that category, followed by their specific name or EC number; if an ingre- dient belongs to more than one of the categories, the category appropriate to the principal function in the case of the foodstuff in question shall be indicated. Amendments to this Annex based on advances in scientific and technical knowledge shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 20(2).
