Marking of Retail Goods Regulations 2025Contribution
Fourthly, these regulations fail because they continue to pretend that “not for EU” labelling requirements provide a useful function which is worth accommodating, when they do nothing more than impose needless packaging costs on GB companies, threatening the Northern Ireland supply chain. If you visit supermarkets on the Northern Ireland side of the border, you will find their car parks contain a significant number of cars from the Republic that take home with them lots of “not for EU” labelled goods because there is no law against their purchase and they are, on average, as I said, cheaper than comparable Republic of Ireland goods.
