(1) In order to enhance the free movement of fruit juices and certain similar products within the European Union, Council Directive 2001/112/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption4 has laid down specific provisions regarding production, composition and labelling of the products concerned.
