11/04/2024 (Agence Europe) – On Wednesday 10 April, the European Parliament approved (603 votes in favour, 9 against and 10 abstentions) the text of the agreement between the institutions revising the ‘Breakfast’ Directives on the composition and labelling of certain foodstuffs (see EUROPE 13350/31). According to the text (https://aeur.eu/f/bpn ), which has yet to be adopted by the EU Council, the country or countries of origin must be indicated on the label in descending order, as well as the percentage of each origin in the case of blends, with a tolerance of 5%. However, in order to guarantee a certain degree of flexibility, Member States may allow (in the case of honey blends with more than four different countries of origin) only the four largest shares to be indicated in percentage terms, provided that together they represent more than 50% of the total.
