"I voted for the resolution on the proposal amending Council Directive 2001/112/EC relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption because I think that the implementation of the new provisions will provide better protection for consumer interests and boost the free movement of fruit juices within the EU. The EU fruit juice market accounts for 10% of the total consumption of non-alcoholic beverages, while the production of fruit juice from concentrate predominates compared to direct juice production (87.6% and 12.4% respectively).
The specific provisions and regulations regarding production, composition and labelling of fruit juices laid down by Directive 2001/112/EC must be adapted to technical progress and take account of developments in relevant international standards, in particular, the Codex Standard for fruit juices and nectars (stipulating quality factors and labelling requirements) and the Code of Practice of the European Fruit Juice Association. The amendments made to the directive are aimed at bringing the current situation into line with these standards and reaffirm the distinction between fruit juice and fruit juice obtained from concentrate. They also simplify the provisions on restoring taste and flavour and include tomatoes in the list of fruits and vegetables used to produce fruit juices."@en1
