Bulletin: EU Food Directive Held Invalid - 04/05/05

EU Advocate General held: "The Food Supplements Directive infringes the
principle of proportionality because basic principles of Community law, such
as the requirements of legal protection, of legal certainty and of sound
administration have not properly been taken into account."
The European Court is expected to uphold this determination in June, thereby
preserving access to Dietary Supplements. The Codex threat (see below) remains
real, but this is a great victory that will allow the Health Freedom Movement
to go from defense to offense: we want our rights under DSHEA (the 1994 law
that allows health claims for vitamins) to be strengthened and we want the
rest of the world's food supplement rules harmonized to our freedoms!
Congratulations to the Alliance and all its supporters!
