Public consultation on the draft Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies on the scientific and technical guidance for the preparation and presentation of the application for authorisation of a health claim

The Regulation (EC) No1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 was adopted to lay down harmonized rules for nutrition and health claims made on foods across the European Union.

 

The European Commission has asked EFSA to issue an opinion on scientific and technical guidance for the applications for authorisation of health claims.

 

Before adoption of the Opinion by the NDA Panel, EFSA invites potential applicants, stakeholders (i.e. industry, consumer organisations and other NGOs), Member States and all other interested parties to participate in this public consultation by commenting on the draft Opinion on the scientific and technical guidance for the preparation and presentation of the application for authorisation of a health claim.

 

Comments can only be considered if submitted online following the route below. EFSA can not reply to individual comments. Only relevant comments received and considered appropriate will be taken into consideration in the final Opinion.

 

Comments should be submitted on-line by 17 June 2007, at the latest.
