Changes to Egg Marketing Standards legislation in Great Britain
Defra is seeking the views of the egg industry on our proposed amendment to retained Regulation (EC) 589/2008 for the import of eggs to Great Britain (GB).
Defra, the Welsh Government and the Scottish Government are consulting on a proposed amendment to their respective legislation to update how egg marketing standards for eggs imported to GB are enforced.
We’re looking to ensure that the enforcement of egg marketing standards continues to be maintained throughout the supply chain without causing excessive burden to businesses.
Defra is engaging with colleagues in both the Welsh and Scottish Governments to discuss possible GB-wide alignment on the proposed amendments.
It is our priority to ensure we have a comprehensive understanding of industry’s views of these proposals. All responses to this consultation will be carefully considered.
