These Regulations revoke the Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) (Amendment) Regulations 2009 and amend the Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) Regulations 1986 (“the principal Regulations”). The principal Regulations implemented Directive 96/74/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on textile names (OJ No. L32, 3.2.97, p.38). That Directive has been amended on several occasions and has now been repealed and replaced by Directive 2008/121/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on textile names (recast) (OJ. No.L19, 23.1.2009, p.29). There are no significant changes in Directive 2008/121/EC.
Directive 2008/121/EC sets out the names to be used for different types of textile fibres and fibre descriptions in Annex I and the percentage allowances to apply to fibre when determining composition of mixtures by weight in Annex V.
Regulation 3 provides for amendments to be made to the principal Regulations to refer to Directive 2008/121/EC and Annex I and Annex V as necessary. The references to Annex I and Annex V to Directive 2008/121/EC are to those annexes as amended from time to time.
An impact assessment has not been prepared in respect of these Regulations as they will have no impact on the costs to business. A revised transposition note is available from the Consumer and Competition Policy Directorate, Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website. A copy of the transposition note has been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
