The European Parliament has reached a rapprochement to the European Council's views in the debate over the abrogation of the community regulation stipulating the prepackaging format for some 60 products (liquids or solids) such as cacao, bread and flour.

The Council introduced transitional periods, ie the national prepackaging format for milk, butter, coffee, dry pasta and rice could be maintained for five years after the effective date of the directive; and six years for white sugar.
