EU governments and the European Parliament approved the directive in 2002. The EU said the rules were needed for consumer protection and to provide common rules that would allow companies to sell supplements across the EU. "This is a directive designed to open the internal market and boost growth while ensuring a high level of protection of public health," said EU Health Commissioner Markos Kyprianou.
Under the rules, only food supplement ingredients approved by the European Food Safety Authority will be authorized for sale.
