In response to a petition submitted by the Catalan Coeliac Society, the European Commission emphasises that while EU rules on gluten and allergen information are in place, their practical impact depends on effective implementation and enforcement at national level. This serves as a clear reminder that we must continue to put pressure on national legislators to ensure these rules are applied.
Big moment for coeliac rights in the EU 🇪🇺🌾 Just two days ago, a petition by the Coeliacs of Catalunya and supported by AOECS, was accepted by the European Parliament’s Petitions Committee!
🎉 Interesting news for the #Coeliac community A petition by Esther Roger from the Catalunyan Coeliac Society has been officially accepted by the European Parliament’s Petitions Committee. It calls for a European Framework Directive on coeliac disease — including better diagnosis, training, support and access to gluten-free food. AOECS welcomes this initiative for coeliac rights across Europe. 💪
