These Regulations revoke the Plastic Materials and Articles in Contact with Food Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2008 (S.R. 2008 No. 167 as amended by S.R. 2008 No. 271), and re-enact those Regulations with certain changes. The main changes reflect the implementation of the further amendments made to Commission Directive 2002/72/EC (“the Directive”) by Commission Directive 2008/39/EC (OJ No.L63, 7.3.2008, p.6) (“the new Commission Directive”), which —introduces a positive Community list of additives approved for use in the manufacture of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foods;makes amendments to the lists of approved monomers (including starting substances) and additives annexed to the Directive; andprovides for appropriate transitional arrangements.
