(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs(1) and in particular Article 6 (11), thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Directive 2005/26/EC(2) established the list of food ingredients or substances provisionally excluded from Annex IIIa of Directive 2000/13/EC, having heard the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

(2) In its opinion of 2 December 2004 on certain uses of fish gelatine, the EFSA concluded that this product, when used as a carrier for vitamin and carotenoid preparations, is not likely to cause severe allergic reactions.

(3) Carotenoids were wrongly omitted from the list in annex to Directive 2005/26/EC and must therefore be added to it,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
