27 December 2004 - The Italian Ministry of Health has published

an outline of recent European legislative changes that will

affect supplements, specifically those containing herbs and

plant extracts, asking industry to help shape the European

discussion intended to clarify the borderline between what is a

medicine and what is not. Reference is made to the European

directive on food supplements, a contested piece of EU

legislation that seems to be headed - in the name of market

harmonization - towards forcing the removal of many vitamin and

mineral supplements on the market today. One positive aspect of

the supplements directive: it may provide a framework for

herbal products otherwise...
