CONSUMER PROTECTION

These Regulations implement Directive 2001/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2001 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the member States concerning the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco products (OJ No. L 194 18.7.2001, p.26) (“the Directive”). For the implementation of article 8 of the Directive, prohibiting the placing on the market of tobacco for oral use, see the Tobacco for Oral Use (Safety) Regulations 1992 (SI 1992 No. 3134). The Directive repeals Council Directive 89/622/EEC (as amended by Directive 92/41/EEC) concerning the labelling of tobacco products and Council Directive 90/239/EEC concerning the maximum tar yield of cigarettes.
