no amending act named
applies from: unchanged
The provision now refers to the 'school scheme' rather than the earlier 'school fruit and vegetables scheme', and paragraph 1's rules on additional criteria now concern eligibility of the target group in Article 22 rather than targeting of aid by Member States, with the accompanying-measures reference now qualified as 'educational' measures.
Paragraph 2 drops the former point on reallocating indicative aid allocations between Member States and instead addresses identification of eligible costs and measures, retaining only a modified obligation on monitoring and evaluation.
Paragraph 3 is replaced with new delegated-power subject matter on artificial flavour-enhancers and maximum levels of added sugar, salt and fat, and the text adds new paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 covering publicity and visibility requirements, distribution rules relative to other meals, and an obligation on Member States to explain in their strategies how Union aid is reflected in product prices.
