Resumen

These Regulations make provision for the enforcement of Community legislation concerning the labelling of foodstuffs and food ingredients containing ingredients that have been genetically modified or have been produced from genetically modified organisms. Regulation 1139/98, as amended, and Regulation 50/2000 were made pursuant to Article 4(2) of Council Directive 79/112/EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs. Pursuant to Articles 11 and 13 of that Directive, these Regulations contain: (a) an exemption from the need to be labelled with the particulars required by those EC Regulations in the case of small packages and certain indelibly marked glass bottles (reg. 3(4)); and (b) make provision as to the manner of marking or labelling in the case of the particulars required by those Regulations (regs. 4 to 6). Further to Article 12 of that Directive, these Regulations: (a) allow alternative labelling arrangements instead of the particulars required by those EC Regulations in the case of sales to the final consumer at appropriate premises of food which is prepacked for direct sale or not prepacked (reg. 5); and (b) contain transitional arrangements in respect of sales of such food to the final consumer or to a mass caterer (reg. 13). These Regulations also: (a) create offences and prescribe a penalty (reg. 7), contain exemptions (reg. 3) and specify enforcement authorities (reg. 8); (b) provide a defence in relation to exports, and; (c) incorporate specified provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 (reg. 10).
