The Fruit Juices and Fruit Nectars Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2013

The Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety1 makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by Articles 15(1)(a) and (e), 16(1), 25(1)(a) and 3, 26(3) and 47(2) of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 19912 and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 19723.

These Regulations made provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety that it is expedient for any reference to a European Union instrument specified in Schedule 1 to be construed as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.

In accordance with Article 47(3A) of that Order, it has had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.
