Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Believes that, given the prevalence of the materials referred to on the EU market and the risk they pose to human health, and in order to preserve the single market for food and food packaging alike, the Commission should prioritise the drawing-up of specific EU measures for paper, board, coatings, inks and adhesives; believes that clear EU-level rules for food contact materials should be in line with the broader EU goal to move to a circular economy while taking into account different properties and risks for new and recycled materials;

Paragraph 8
8. RegretNotes that EFSA, in its current risk assessment procedure, does not take account of the so-called ‘cocktail effect’ or multiple exposures, and urges EFSA to do so in futurereview the assessment procedure and, if feasible, to take this effect into account; also urges the Commission to consider this when determining migration limits that are considered safe for human health;

Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Welcomes the fact that the Commission has finally announced its plan to introduce a migration limit of 0.05 mg/kg for Bisphenol A (BPA) for packaging and containers made of plastic, as well as for varnishes and coatings used in metal containers; considers this an improvement compared to the current migration limit of 0.6 mg/kg for BPA in plastic; regrets that this migration limit does not apply to all FCMs following EFSA's latest opinion;

Paragraph 16
16. Recommends the development of a single EU standard for analytical testing in order to ensure that FCMs are tested by companies and competent authorities across the EU using one and the same method; considers that EU single standards should be appropriate and specifically developed for each food contact material, taking into account different risks associated with different materials;
