COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 94/39/EC of 25 July 1994 establishing a list of intended uses of animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposesTHE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,  Having regard to Council Directive 93/74/EEC of 13 September 1993 on feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes (1), and in particular Article 6 (a) thereof,  Whereas Council Directive 93/74/EEC provides for the establishment of a positive list of the intended uses of animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes; whereas that list must indicate the precise use, that is to say, the particular  nutritional purpose, the essential nutritional characteristics, the labelling declarations and where apropriate the special labelling requirements;  Whereas certain nutritional purposes cannot be included at present in the list of intended uses due to the absence of Community methods of control for the energy value in pet foods and for dietary fibre in feedingstuffs; whereas this list must be  completed as soon as these methods have been adopted;  Whereas the established list may be modified, where appropriate, following developments in scientific and technical knowledge;  Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:   Article 1  Member States shall require that feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes within the meaning of Council Directive 93/74/EEC shall be marketed only if their intended uses are included in Part B of the Annex to this Directive  and if they fulfil the other provisions laid down in that Part of the Annex.  Furthermore, the Member States shall ensure that the provisions under 'General provisions' of Part A of the Annex are complied with.   Article 2  Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary for them to comply with this Directive no later than 30 June 1995. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.  When Member States adopt these provisions these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by Member States.   Article 3  This Directive shall enter into force 20 days after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.  Done at Brussels, 25 July 1994.  For the Commission René STEICHEN Member of the Commission  (1) OJ No L 237, 22. 9. 1993, p. 23.      ANNEX   PART A   General provisions  1. Where there is more than one group of nutritional characteristics indicated in column 2 of Part B, denoted by 'and/or', for the same nutritional purpose, the manufacturer has the option to use either or both groups of essential  characteristics, in order to achieve the nutritional purpose defined in column 1. For each option the corresponding labelling declarations are given opposite in column 4.  2. Where a group of additives is mentioned in column 2 or column 4 of Part B the additive(s) used must be authorized in Council Directive 70/524/EEC (1) as corresponding to the specified essential characteristic.  3. Where the source(s) of ingredients or of analytical constituents is (are) required in column 4 of Part B, the manufacturer must make a precise declaration (e.g. specific name of the ingredient(s), animal species or part of the animal) allowing the  evaluation of conformity of the feedingstuff with the corresponding essential nutritional characteristics.  4. Where the declaration of a substance, also authorized as an additive, is required in column 4 of Part B and is accompanied by the expression 'total' the declared content must refer to, as appropriate, the quantity naturally present where none is  added or, by derogation from Directive 70/524/EEC, the total quantity of the substance naturally present and the amount added as an additive.  5. The declarations required in column 4 with the reference 'if added' are compulsory where the ingredient or the additive has been incorporated or increased specifically to enable the achievement of the particular nutritional purpose.  6. The declarations to be given in accordance with column 4 of Part B concerning analytical constituents and additives must be quantitative.  7. The recommended period of use indicated in column 5 of part B indicates a range within which the nutritional purpose should normally be achieved. Manufacturers can refer to more precise periods of use, within the fixed limits.  8. Where a feedingstuff is intended to meet more than one particular nutritional purpose, it must comply with the corresponding entries in Part B.  9. In the case of complementary feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes guidance on the balance of the daily ration must be provided in the instructions for use contained on the label.

         COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2012/9/EU
   of 7 March 2012
   amending Annex I to Directive 2001/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco products
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2001/37/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 5 June 2001 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco products (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 5(2)(b) of Directive 2001/37/EC provides that each unit packet of tobacco products, except for tobacco for oral use and other smokeless tobacco products, and any outside packaging, with the exception of additional transparent wrappers, must carry an additional warning from the list set out in Annex I to that Directive.

               (2)

               Those additional warnings have been mandatory on all packages of smoking tobacco since September 2003 and on packages of other tobacco products since September 2004.

               (3)

               Evidence suggests that the impact of current additional warnings set out in Annex I to Directive 2001/37/EC has decreased over time as the novelty effect of the warning messages has worn off.

               (4)

               In addition, new scientific evidence on the health effects of tobacco use and the principles of effective tobacco labelling has emerged since the adoption of Directive 2001/37/EC. In particular, there is evidence that smoking plays a causal role in mouth and throat cancer, visual impairments as well as dental and gum disease. There is also evidence that parental smoking is a major risk factor for smoking initiation.

               (5)

               Article 9(2) of Directive 2001/37/EC provides that the Commission shall adapt to scientific and technical progress the health warnings set out in Annex I of the same Directive. Furthermore, guidelines on tobacco packaging and labelling (2) adopted by the Third Conference of the Parties to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in November 2008 recommend that legal measures for packaging and labelling of tobacco products should be reviewed periodically and updated as new evidence emerges and as specific health warnings and messages wear out.

               (6)

               A revision of the current additional warnings set out in Annex I to Directive 2001/37/EC is therefore needed in order to maintain and increase their impact, and to take into account the new scientific developments.

               (7)

               This revision should be based on the results of the review of existing knowledge on tobacco labelling and the health effects of tobacco use and of testing of the warnings made in all Member States.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee established under Article 10(1) of Directive 2001/37/EC and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
   Article 1
   Annex I to Directive 2001/37/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Directive.
   Article 2
   1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 28 March 2014 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
   When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
   2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
   Article 3
   Member States may decide to allow the continuation of marketing of products not complying with the provisions of this Directive until 28 March 2016.
   Article 4
   This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   Article 5
   This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

      Done at Brussels, 7 March 2012.
