The purpose of these Regulations is to give effect to Council Directive 79/112/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer. These Regulations provide that food, which complies with the provisions of the Council Directive and with other relevant requirements, may be freely marketed.
