(EN) AISBL (Association Internationale Sans But Lucratif) on 27-09-2024 The draft amendment addresses specifically the product category of energy drinks. Energy drinks are an established product category across Europe and in Hungary. They are sold in all countries of the European Union, have been consumed for more than 36 years and are sold in more than 175 countries around the world.
Energy drinks are functional, non-alcoholic beverages, which typically contain about the same amount of caffeine (32 mg per 100 ml) as a cup of home-made coffee and the same amount of sugar as orange juice (11 g per 100 ml). Energy drinks are safe products that comply with European law, and the safety of their ingredients has been confirmed by regulators in individual EU member states and by the European Food Safety Authority in numerous scientific opinions.
Setting an age limit of 18 years old for the sale of energy drinks is therefore arbitrary, without scientific basis and disproportionate. Such an approach is likely to be in breach of the TFEU.
Therefore, for the reasons outlined in the attached position, we urge the European Commission when examining the draft amendment to issue a detailed opinion to the effect that the restrictions on energy drinks infringe Articles 34 to 36 TFEU which prohibit any quantitative restrictions and measures having equivalent effects on imports and exports of goods between Member States.
