"I would argue that the European Union must pay particular attention to certain patients for whom a specific diet is of vital importance – including infants and children under the age of three. Therefore, I support the Commission’s decision to carry out a thorough review of the legislation regarding food products intended for a particular diet, but on condition that industry is afforded greater legal certainty. I am happy with the amendment of the regulation under review, which now also covers food products suitable for people who are gluten-intolerant in order to give them a proper legal framework. I would argue that it is essential for the notification procedure (which is faster and less costly) to continue to be the standard procedure, with marketing authorisations being granted at national level and there being an option to supplement this procedure with additional rules on labelling. I agree with the rapporteur that stricter rules than those applying under the prior authorisation procedure based on an opinion delivered by the European Food Standards Authority ought to be maintained for claims relating to foods for infants and children between the ages of one and three."@en1
