EU establishing the Union list of novel foods in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2015-2283 European Commission has to establish the Union list of novel foods authorised or notified under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients. The proposed measure will transform the current EU authorisations of novel foods to a generic authorisation while keeping the list of authorised novel foods and the conditions and use specifications unchanged. The measure will allow any non-EU food business operator to place on the EU market any substance listed in the Union list provided that they comply with the conditions of use and specifications therein. The measure will thus facilitate trade in novel foods.
