ANH responds to EFSA Accusation of Legal Threat.

by Chris Murray

Report this post to the editors

and some useful updates......

The Alliance for Natural Health filed nine applications to Annex 1 of the EU Food Supplement
Directive and a further six to annex II in Late Feburary and early March 2007.
The primary subjects of the applications were natural vitamins and minerals
which were ommitted from the Directive's Annexes ('positive list').

On the 16th of March , the ANH informed the EU Commission that it had filed the
applications and would scrutinise it and the European Food Safety Authority's
(EFSA) procedures with regard to their evaluation.

Alliance for Natural Health Logo.

This scrutiny , ANH indicated , would be in accordance with the process made clear
by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), in it's ruling on the ANH case in July 2005.

The story is at link:- http://www.alliance-natural-health.org

The EFSA made no comment on the 16th of March, but released comment through

Nutraingredients.com Europe.

They have accused ANH of threatening the EU Commission.

(etc).

Other issues arising:- The EU want to ban tea tree oil in case we get a rash, as it banned
John's Wort Oil.

These are ingredients that have been used with knowledge long before the issue
of patents and control mechanisms for consumer choice were even dreamt of.
Most information and campaigns on our choices and the bodies ability
to heal is available through local health shops and complementary practicioners.

ie- its about choice.

The Homeopathic hospital in London is being shut down also, will add in link later.
There has been some little mainstream media coverage on the issue over the
last few weeks particularly on the Homeopathic hospital in the Guardian newspaper.
