Dear Paul,
Vitamin D fortification/enrichment in Europe is regulated through Regulation (EC) No. 1925/2006, see http://ec.europa.eu/food/safety/labelling_nutrition/vitamins_minerals/index_en.htm, and the national authorities in the EU Member States are responsible for registering (accepting/rejecting) the addition of vitamins and minerals to foods, as well as keeping the official registers.
For those countries, not members of the European Union, like Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, etc., it is my impression that they follow the EU Regulation, but you may need to have specific information from these countries.
All the best,
Anders

Subject: European vitamin D fortification policies
Hello all,
I'm looking for vitamin D fortification (voluntary and mandatory) policies of numerous European countries, however am having some difficulty finding them . Would any of you know a source(s) where I could find this information? Thank you all so much for your time in the matter.
