To ensure a high level of protection of human health and consumers' interests, food consisting of engineered nanomaterials should also be considered a novel food under this Regulation.

A. whereas Article 18(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on Food Information to Consumers (‘FIC’) provides that all food ingredients present in the form of engineered nanomaterials must be clearly indicated in the list of food ingredients to ensure consumer information; whereas, accordingly, FIC provides for a definition of ’engineered nanomaterials’;

E. whereas the Commission delegated regulation excludes all food additives included in the Union lists from the new definition of ‘engineered nanomaterial’ and instead suggests that the need for specific nano-related labelling requirements relating to those additives should be addressed in the context of the re-evaluation programme in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 257/2010, by amending, if necessary, the conditions of use in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 and the specifications of those food additives, set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 ;

Therefore Taking account of that scientific opinion and in view of the particular sensitivity of the vulnerable groups for whom foods covered by this Regulation are intended , engineered nanomaterials should not be included in the Union list annexed to this Regulation for the categories of food covered by this Regulation, until an evaluation as long as their safety , based on adequate and sufficient test methods, their nutritional value and their suitability for the persons for whom the food is intended have not been demonstrated by t ...[+++]he Authority is carried out . [Am. 23]

(43) The Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU in respect of the criteria according to which foods may be considered as having been used for human consumption to a significant degree within the Union before 15 May 1997, in respect of the determination of whether a type of food falls within the scope of this Regulation, the adjustment and adaptation of the definition of ‘engineered nanomaterial’ to technical and scientific progress and in line with definitions subsequently agreed at international level, rules on how to proceed in cases in which the Commission has no information about us ...[+++]e of a food for human consumption before 15 May 1997, as well as in respect of rules for the application of Article 4(1) and Article 9 and the update of the Union list . It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level ,
