These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, amend the Food (Control of Irradiation) Regulations 1990 (“the principal Regulations”). These amendments are in accordance with the provisions of Directive 1999/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning foods and food ingredients treated with ionising radiation (O.J. No. L 66, 13.3.99, p.16) and Directive 1999/3/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a Community list of foods and food ingredients treated with ionising radiation (O.J. No. L 66, 13.3.99, p.24), both of which are implemented by the principal Regulations.
These Regulations–
(a)remove two definitions from the principal Regulations which were found to be unnecessary (regulation 3);
(b)re-enact provisions in a clarified format for the documents which are required to accompany foods which have been treated with ionising radiation by insertion of new provisions in Schedules 1, 2 and 3 of the principal Regulations and make additional provision in relation to such foods which are not intended for sale to the ultimate consumer or catering establishments with a view to clarifying responsibility for compliance with the documentation requirements (regulations 4, 5(b)(ii) and (iii), 6(a) and (c) and 7);
(c)make four minor amendments to clarify ambiguities in the wording of the principal Regulations (regulations 5(a), (b)(i) and (c) and 6(b)).
