The Food Information (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2021

These Regulations are made in exercise of powers conferred by the European Union (Future Relationship) Act 2020 (c. 29). They implement Article 5 of Annex 15 to the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (“the TCA”). Annex 15 to the TCA makes provision for trade in wine and Article 5 provides for transitional measures relating to the labelling and placing on the market of wine produced before the date of entry into force of the TCA. Regulation 2 makes consequential amendments to the Food Information (Wales) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2303) (W. 227) to ensure such wine can continue to be sold.
