Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) Under Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, most alcoholic beverages are not required to indicate a list of ingredients or a nutrition declaration. In its resolution of 29 April 2015 on Alcohol Strategy, the European Parliament stressed the need for, as a minimum, the calorie content of alcoholic beverages to be clearly stated on labels as soon as possible and for the European Commission to come forward with the corresponding legislative proposal at the latest in 2016. At a time of rising obesity, and in response to increased consumer demand for greater transparency, mandatory on-label information on nutrients and ingredients is essential to help consumers choose what and how much to drink.
