summary
The Commission's amended proposal incorporated the European Parliament's amendment concerning the change in the denomination of the substance ("processed Euchema seaweed"), which was in accordance with the denomination used in international trade. However, the Commission rejected the amendments concerning the assignment of number E408 and the non-use of the additive in babyfoods (Directive 95/2/EC already prohibits the use of additive E407a in babyfoods).�

summary
In adopting the report by Mrs Karin RIIS-J·RGENSEN (ELDR), the European Parliament approved the proposal subject to an amendment calling for 'Processed Euchema seaweed' to be registered under its own denomination and classified as 'E408' and not as 'Alternatively refined carrageenan', classified as 'E407', in order to ensure that consumers were correctly informed. The EP also called for processed Euchema seaweed not to be used in foodstuffs for children under the age of 18 months. �
