"The EU mineral water document specifies a Europe-wide standard on natural mineral water.
This regulation determines the conditions under which natural mineral water is to be recognised as such and lays down guidelines for the use of mineral water sources. Specific rules for supplying the market with mineral water are also laid down in the guidelines. The discrepancies in these regulations interfere with the free movement of natural mineral water, creating different competition conditions, which have a direct impact on the functioning of the internal market in this product.
In this particular case the existing obstacles could be removed by each Member State agreeing to accept mineral water recognised by other Member States in their territory with the introduction of general guidelines on meeting microbiological requirements for the product, which would determine the name of a certain mineral water brand.
The principal aim of any regulation on mineral water is to protect consumers’ health and prevent consumers from being misled by information on the product, thus guaranteeing fair trade."@en1
