The rapporteur, Mr FLORENZ (EPP, D), submitted his report in the form of a purely technical presentation. The Council had taken over five of the seven amendments tabled by Parliament at first reading. It had accepted, among other things, that the directive referred to ‘spring water’ as mineral water. The two amendments adopted in parliamentary committee were aimed at strengthening the reference to spring water. Commissioner BANGEMANN said that he was having problems in understanding why they were going back on some of the points that had been accepted in the common position. As a result the Commission was unable to accept those amendments whose content was already included in the common position. The same also applied to Amendments Nos 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The rapporteur announced the conclusion of an agreement on the use of ozone-enriched air subject to strict conditions. He proposed that the Directive should also ensure that the process used for treating mineral water was indicated on the labels; however, he was opposed to laying down a maximum capacity for bottles of water as that was a decision that should be made by the Member States or by consumers themselves. Commissioner BANGEMANN stated that he could take over Amendments Nos 1, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 11. At present, Amendments Nos 2, 3, 6 and 13 were not acceptable, but a short-term solution could be envisaged.
The amended proposal for a directive was approved, with the following specific comments: - Article 4(1) referred to the separation of unstable constituents; the ESC considered that reference should also be made to the separation of ‘undesirable constituents’ in order to take account of advances in the field of toxicology, subject to the proviso that these constituents were removed using methods authorised under the directive being considered; - the ESC considered that it should be mandatory in all cases for the labelling of natural mineral waters to list any treatment that the water had undergone, in order to avoid any grounds for misapprehension and to guarantee fair trade, unlike the proposed amendment to Article 7(3), which left it up to the Member States to take such action; there should, however, never be any question of making specific reference to the processes of decantation and filtration since these processes had always been used to treat both mineral water and tap water; - under the proposed new Article 11, the Scientific Committee for Food was to be consulted on ‘the limits for the levels of constituents of natural mineral waters’. In the ESC’s view, it would be perfectly appropriate for the Scientific Committee for Food also to be consulted in respect of the definition of these ‘undesirable constituents’.
