summary
PURPOSE: to present a proposal which aims to amend Directive 80/232/EEC as regards the range of nominal weights for coffee extracts and chicory extracts. CONTENT: The proposed amendment aims to include the mandatory range for coffee extracts and chicory extracts in Directive 80/232/EC. The range has already existed and has been transposed by all the Member States. The reason for the shift is to improve transparency of the Community legislation by regrouping all ranges into a single horizontal Directive: Directive 80/232/EEC. Furthermore, retaining the range in question makes it possible to keep a Community legal basis for the existing transpositions by the Member States. Without the amendment some Member States may scrap the range or instate another, thereby changing the current favourable situation in which there exists free movement of goods in this sector. The aims and objectives of the proposed Directive are as follows: - it lays down nominal quantities and nominal capacities permitted for certain pre-packaged products in the Community in order to harmonise their use. Use of the harmonised ranges has the advantage of rationalising manufacturing as well as providing clear and comparative information for consumers: - all Member States have implemented the range which is part of the acquis; - it is coherent with Community policies, industrial policy, and consumer policy, for example. - maintaining the mandatory range for coffee extracts and chicory extracts will not have any observable effect on the marketplace, neither for manufacturers nor consumers. The proposed Directive merely extends what already exists in Community and national legislation. As implementation has already taken place, there are no transitory effects to be expected; - the presentation of this proposal to the Council and the European Parliament is not in the current work programme due to the fact that the reasons to amend the Directive were the consequence of the recast of the Directive concerning coffee extracts and chicory extracts. The Commission stated its intention as a recital in the recast Directive; - the proposed Directive is covered by the Agreement on the European Economic Area.�
