1. These Regulations, which apply in relation to England only, amend the Food Labelling Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/1499, as already amended) and the Notification of Marketing of Food for Particular Nutritional Uses (England) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/181) in order to reflect the repeal and replacement of Council Directive 89/398/EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (OJ No. L186, 30.6.1989, p.27) by Directive 2009/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (OJ No. L124, 20.5.2009, p.21).
2. These Regulations amend the Food Labelling Regulations 1996 (which extend to the whole of Great Britain), in so far as they apply in relation to England, by omitting the definition of “Directive 89/398” from regulation 2(1) and inserting a definition of “Directive 2009/39” into that provision and substituting a reference to “Directive 2009/39” for the reference to “Directive 89/398” in regulation 3(1)(iv) (regulation 2).
3. These Regulations amend the Notification of Marketing of Food for Particular Nutritional Uses (England) Regulations 2007 by substituting a revised definition of “the Directive” for the existing definition of “the Directive” in regulation 2(1) so that it refers to Directive 2009/39/EC instead of Directive 89/398/EEC and substituting references to specified provisions of Directive 2009/39/EC for the existing references to specified provisions of Directive 89/398/EEC in regulations 3 and 4 (regulation 3).
4. These Regulations also amend the Food Labelling Regulations 1996 and the Notification of Marketing of Food for Particular Nutritional Uses (England) Regulations 2007 to provide that references to Directive 2009/39/EC should be construed as references to that Directive as amended from time to time (regulation 2(2)(b) and 3(2))”.
5. A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
