European Commission report regarding the need to establish special rules for food intended for sportspeople

On 15 June 2016 the European Commission published report regarding the need to establish special rules for food intended for sportspeople.
The Provision of Regulation (EU) No 609/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council will apply from 20 July 2016 and they do not include sports food within its scope, since it focuses on foods for certain vulnerable groups of consumers. 

Thus, this type of food will be exclusively governed by horizontal rules of food law.
The European Commission concluded in the report that after 20 July 2016 consumer information on sports food will have to be provided in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011. Furthermore, information falling under the definition of nutrition and health claims provided for such products on a voluntary basis will have to comply with Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
