Eu Food Supplements Directive

EDM number 1211 in 2001-02, proposed by Liam Fox on 29/04/2002.

That this House expresses its concern that, despite the recent welcome amendment of Article 4, the EU Food Supplements Directive will lead to an over-restrictive regulation of food supplements resulting in many popular and important substances with a long history of safe use not being available in the United Kingdom; particularly notes that the use of reference intakes of vitamins and minerals for the population are likely to lead to an inappropriately low upper safety level; and calls on the Government vigorously to defend United Kingdom consumers' and manufacturers' interests.

This motion has been signed by a total of 98 MPs.
