Debate

Marking of Retail Goods Regulations 2025

Contribution

That completely abandons Article 16—there is no mention of massive distortion to trade. Clearly, a decision was taken not to raise the threshold of the protection around trade diversion that there is around the other three protections in this way. So it stands uniquely as a protection against trade diversion per se. It is certainly not limited to massive trade diversion.
