Abstract

These Regulations amend the principal Regulations of 1995 in relation to Wales. They implement for Wales Commission Directive 2003/14/EC amending Directive 91/321/EEC on infant formulae and follow-on formulae. In implementation of Directive 2003/14/EC the Regulations: (a) prohibit the sale, or export to third countries, of infant formulae or follow-on formulae containing pesticide residues above certain levels. Different levels are set depending on the pesticide in question (regs. 4, 5, 7 and 10 and Schedule); and (b) make some consequential amendments (regs. 3 and 6). Provision is made as to analytical methods for determining levels of pesticide residues (reg. 7). The Regulations also: (a) give port health authorities a role in enforcement (reg. 8); and (b) make some technical changes to the provision applying various provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 (reg. 9).
