The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections6(4), 16(1)(e) and (f), 17(2), 26(1)(a) and (3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990 and all other powers enabling them to do so.

In accordance with section48(4A) of that Act, the Scottish Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.

 There has been consultation as required by Article9 of Regulation (EC) No.178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety. Citation, commencement and extent 1 1 These Regulations may be cited as the Fish Labelling (Scotland) Regulations 2010 and come into force on 6th April 2010. 2 These Regulations extend to Scotland only. Interpretation 2 In these Regulations— “Regulation 104/2000” means Council Regulation (EC) No.104/2000 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products; “Regulation 2065/2001” means Commission Regulation (EC) No.2065/2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No.104/2000 as regards informing consumers about fishery and aquaculture products; and any expressions used in these Regulations and in Regulation 104/2000 or Regulation 2065/2001 have the same meaning as in those Regulations. Offences relating to consumer information 3 1 Any person who, in contravention of Article4(1) of Regulation 104/2000 (consumer information) as read with Regulation 2065/2001, offers for retail sale to the final consumer any product to which that Article applies shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level5 on the standard scale. 2 Any person who at any stage of marketing fails to comply with Article8 of Regulation2065/2001 (traceability and control) shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level3 on the standard scale.

Omission of reference to the production method 5 In the case described in Article4(2) of Regulation 2065/2001 (situation where it is obvious from commercial designation and catch area that the species is caught at sea) it shall not be a contravention of Article4(1) of Regulation 104/2000 to offer for retail sale to the final consumer any product to which that Article applies without the product being marked or labelled with the production method. Small quantities of products 6 1 For the purposes of Article4(1) of Regulation 104/2000 as read with Article7 of Regulation 2065/2001, the small quantity of products which may be sold directly to consumers shall be products to a value not exceeding 20Euros for each purchase. 2 For the purposes of this regulation, the reference to 20Euros shall be taken to be a reference to the sterling equivalent of that number of Euros, converted by reference to the rate of conversion published annually on the first working day of the preceding September in the Cseries of the Official Journal of the European Communities or, if no rate is published in it on that day, the first rate published in it thereafter. Additional information relating to the catch area 7 The indication of catch area required by Article4(1)(c) of Regulation 104/2000 may, where the circumstances described in Article5(1)(c) of Regulation 2065/2001 apply, indicate the various Member States or third countries in which the product was farmed.
