Nutrition on the Internet

At the start of the 2000 set of articles in this series there were two articles that focused on documents posted to the Web sites operated by the European Union. Although published in January and April 2000, the two articles were actually written in October and November 1999. This section provides an update on materials available on the EU Web sites up to early August 2000.

First of all, it is worthwhile to remember the six principal categories of materials posted to the EU Web sites:

1. 1.

   items of legislation such as new regulations and directives;

2. 2.

   descriptions of EU systems and procedures;

3. 3.

   agendas and minutes of meetings;

4. 4.

   notices;

5. 5.

   opinions; and

6. 6.

   reports.

These groupings were used to provide the basic structure for the earlier articles but are not used here since this update is not intended to consider each element in detail – the aim is to highlight a few of the more interesting and important developments.
