Business | As a result, in May 2000 the EU Commission approved a proposal for a Directive on Food Supplements to improve the safety and quality of vitamins and minerals and harmonize national regulations on their sale. The Commission hopes the Directive will come into force by June 2002, with all products required to be fully compliant by 2004. Although the proposed Directive currently applies only to vitamins and minerals, in the future it may be extended to cover the regulation of other such supplements as amino acids, essential fatty acids, fiber, and plant and herbal supplements.
