Questions referred

Is a reference to general, non-specific health-related benefits ‘accompanied’ within the meaning of Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 1 by specific health claims in accordance with one of the lists provided for in Article 13 or 14 of that regulation even if that reference is situated on the front and the authorised claims are situated on the back of an outer packaging and, in the perception of the public, although the claims are clearly related to the reference in terms of content, the reference does not contain a clear indication, marked with an asterisk for example, to the claims on the back?

Does evidence within the meaning of Article 5(1)(a) and Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 also need to be provided in the case of reference being made to general, non-specific benefits within the meaning of Article 10(3) of that regulation?
