Marking of Retail Goods Regulations 2025Contribution
We were told that the effect of the agreement, if it comes, will be that we can do away with all this “not for EU” labelling. But the Government are saying that that will be only for many goods—I think the Minister tonight said the “majority” of goods. It will be interesting to see how many will not be included. Will we have a situation where there will still be “not for EU” labelling for some goods but not for others? You can imagine companies trying to grapple with the complexity. They have just been told it is for all dairy, meat, fruit, veg and chilled products; then, in a year’s time, they might be told to forget about all that as it will be for only certain items. Perhaps the Minister when she sums up could clarify what she meant by the “majority” of goods in that case.
