1.12.2015 Official Journal of the European Union L 314/1 (Legislative acts) DIRECTIVES DIRECTIVE (EU) 2015/2203 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 25 November 2015 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to caseins and caseinates intended for human consumption and repealing Council Directive 83/417/EEC THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments, Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (), Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (%), Whereas: (1)  Council Directive 83/417[EEC (°) provides for the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to certain lactoproteins (caseins and caseinates) intended for human consumption. Since the entry into force of that Directive, several changes have taken place, in particular the development of a comprehensive legal framework in the area of food law and the adoption of an international standard for edible casein products by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (‘Codex standard for edible casein products’), which need to be taken into account. (2)  Directive 83/417/EEC confers powers on the Commission in order to implement some of its provisions. As a consequence of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, those powers need to be aligned to Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU’). (3)  For the sake of clarity, Directive 83/417EEC should therefore be repealed and replaced with a new Directive. (4)  Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*) contains general, horizontal and uniform Union rules concerning the adoption of emergency measures for food and feed. The related provisions of Directive 83/417EEC are therefore no longer necessary. (5)  Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (°) contains general, horizontal and uniform Union rules concerning the methods of sampling and analysis of foodstuffs. The related provisions of Directive 83/417[EEC are therefore no longer necessary. () O] C424,26.11.2014, p. 72.
