neutral  Peter Shortall: It's "sixth recital", though, not "sixth Directive". "Considerando" is a noun, it refers to what is known in EU jargon as a "recital" (a paragraph headed by "whereas...")

art. 6


Explanation:
If you look for this Directive and read it, you'll see that art. 6 refers to labelling of ingredients.

There appears to be a word missing from your source text ("articolo")

Reference: Directive 2002/46/EC

Reference information:
This is the sixth recital of the Directive in question:

"Whereas: (...)

(6) There is a wide range of nutrients and other ingredients that might be present in food supplements including, but not limited to, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, fibre and various plants and herbal extracts."
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:...

Compare that with your sentence ("vitamine, minerali, acidi grassi essenziali, fibre ed estratti di origine vegetale"), it does seem to be talking about exactly the same sorts of things.

Also, try looking up "considerando" in IATE:
http://iate.europa.eu/iatediff/SearchByQueryLoad.do?method=l...

Article 6 of the Directive, on the other hand, appears to be about labelling.
