8.1.Council Directive 89/108/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to quick-frozen foodstuffs for human consumption()
As regards Directive 89/108/EEC, the Commission should be empowered to determine the purity criteria to be satisfied by cryogenic media, the sampling procedures for quick-frozen foodstuffs and the procedures for monitoring the temperature of such feedstuffs and for monitoring temperatures in the means of transport, warehousing and storage. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 89/108/EEC by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
Accordingly, Directive 89/108/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1.
the third paragraph of Article 4 shall be replaced by the following:
‘The purity criteria to be satisfied by those cryogenic media shall be determined, as far as necessary, by the Commission. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 12(2).’;
2.
Article 11 shall be replaced by the following:
‘Article 11
The sampling procedures for quick-frozen foodstuffs and the procedures for monitoring their temperature and for monitoring temperatures in the means of transport, warehousing and storage shall be determined by the Commission. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 12(2).’;
3.
Article 12 shall be amended as follows:
(a)
