Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/46/EC specifies the vitamins and minerals, and for each of them the forms, that may be used for the manufacture of food supplements.
(2) Those vitamin and mineral substances that have been evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority (hereafter ‘the Authority’) and have received a favourable scientific evaluation should be included in the Annexes to Directive 2002/46/EC.
(3) Favourable scientific evaluation for some vitamins and mineral substances has been recently given and made public by the Authority.
