The European Commission launched an Online Public Consultation on the evaluation of the Food Contact Materials (FCM) legislation to assess whether the objectives and tools of the FCM legislation are still relevant and coherent.
Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 provides a harmonized legal EU framework for FCM and sets out the general principles of safety of FCMs, as well as rules on labeling, compliance documentation and on traceability. This consultation aims at gathering the views and evidence from a wide range of stakeholders on the functioning of the FCM legislation, on the requirements that the legislation sets for businesses and public authorities.
The feedback received until May 6, 2019, will be taken into account in the evaluation.
