lpv:translated text	". This regulation is aimed at updating legislation on materials that come into contact with foodstuffs, establishing a framework regulation that sets out the rules by which packages and materials should be covered, the safety standards to be achieved and the procedure for the authorisation both of materials and methods. It also includes new provisions on active and intelligent packaging. This regulation forms part of the overall package for enhancing food safety. Food safety is highly dependent on packaging, which not only protects food from light, micro-organisms and air, but also helps to preserve the taste and freshness of food. Special care must, therefore, be taken with the materials that come into contact with food, and also with the functions of these materials. Nevertheless, as regards the key premise that all packaging must conform to Community food safety legislation, and must not mislead consumers, we have major reservations about the concept of active packaging. Active packaging means changing the condition of food; adding aromatic substances, removing odours or adding preservatives to extend the shelf-life of products. This could disguise the true condition of the food. We therefore agree with Amendment No 6, but feel that more rigorous studies should be carried out on the use of this type of packaging and of its active materials."@en1
