(22)Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 repeals Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 from the date of application of the list referred to in Article 2(2) of that Regulation. It is therefore appropriate, for reasons of legal certainty, to fix the date of application of that list. The principle of mutual recognition laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 should however continue to apply to flavouring substances included in the Annex to this Regulation for which footnotes 1 to 4 have been assigned. Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 will cease to apply and will become obsolete once the risk assessment and authorisation procedures for those flavouring substances have been concluded.
