PROBLEM STATEMENT

The HMPC/MLWP decided to prepare a Community herbal monograph on Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merill et L.M. Perry, flos as announced in the 2011 MLWP work programme.

After reviewing information on the products containing Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merill et L.M. Perry, flos and preparations thereof marketed in the European Union, it appears that no single-ingredient products are available. Furthermore, after consultation with interested parties on priority levels for anticipated assessment works in 2010, a low level of priority was identified for the establishment of a monograph on Caryophylli flos.

The Rapporteur has integrated relevant published data in the joint assessment report on Caryophylli aetheroleum and Caryophylli flos.

CONCLUSIONS

Based on the above-mentioned information, the HMPC decided that no Community herbal monograph on Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merill et L.M. Perry, flos will be established, unless new data are provided.
