Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

These Regulations implement Council Directive 2001/114/EC relating to certain partly or wholly dehydrated preserved milk products intended for human consumption (O.J. No. L19, 17.1.2002, p.19). They revoke and replace the Condensed Milk and Dried Milk Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1977, as amended. The Regulations – a prescribe definitions and reserved descriptions for condensed milk and dried milk products (regulation 2 and Schedules 1 and 2); b provide for the Regulations to apply to milk and dried milk products intended for human consumption and ready for delivery to the ultimate consumer or to a catering establishment (regulation 3); c restrict the use of reserved descriptions to the designated condensed and dried milk products to which they relate (regulation 4); d prescribe labelling requirements for designated condensed and dried milk products (regulation 5); e prescribe the manner of marking or labelling and apply specified provisions of the Food Labelling Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 (regulation 6); f specify a penalty, the enforcement authority and, in accordance with Articles 2 and 3 of Council Directive 89/397/EEC on the official control of foodstuffs (O.J. No. L186, 30.6.89, p.23), a defence in relation to exports (regulations 7 and 8); g apply various provisions of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (regulation 9); h revoke the previous Regulations and make consequential amendments and transitional provision (regulations 10 and 11). An effect of the revocation made by regulation 10(1)(a), and the absence of the re-enactment of a similar provision, is that Part II of the Food Labelling Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 will apply to the products to which these Regulations apply.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
