These Regulations make continued and new provision for the enforcement of-specified Community legislation. The products covered by this legislation are foods and food ingredients which are to be delivered as such to the final consumer, having been produced in whole or in part from genetically modified soya beans or genetically modified maize. The Community labelling requirements are to ensure the final consumer is informed of any characteristic or food property rendering a novel food or novel food ingredient no longer equivalent to an existing food or food ingredient; of the presence in the novel food or food ingredient of material which is not present in an existing equivalent foodstuff and which may have implications for the health of certain sections of the population or give rise to ethical concerns; and of the presence of a genetically modified organism. These Regulations: (a) contain an exemption from the need to be labelled with the particulars required by those EC Regulations in the case of small packages and certain indelibly marked glass bottles (reg. 3(4)); and (b) make provision as to the manner of marking or labelling in the case of the particulars required by those Regulations (regs. 4 to 6). Further these Regulations: (a) allow alternative labelling arrangements instead of the particulars required by the EC Regulations in the case of sales to the final consumer by appropriate premises of food which is prepacked for direct sale or not prepacked (reg. 5); and (b) contain transitional arrangements in respect of sales of such food to the final consumer or to a mass caterer by analogy with Article 4(1) of Regulation 1139/98, Article 2 of Regulation 49/2000 and Article 5 of Regulation 50/2000 (reg. 13). They also: (a) create offences and prescribe a penalty (reg. 7), contain exemptions (reg. 3) and specify enforcement authorities (reg. 8); (b) provide a defence in relation to exports, in accordance with Articles 2 and 3 of Council Directive 89/397/EC on the official control of foodstuffs, as read with the ninth recital to that Directive (reg. 9); (c) incorporate specified provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 (reg. 10); and (d) make consequential amendments of other legislation in relation to England (regs. 11 and 12).
