Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995 (“the general Regulations”) to implement Commission Directive 98/28/EC (OJ No. L 140, 12.5.98, p.10) which grants a derogation from certain provisions of Council Directive 93/43/EEC on the hygiene of foodstuffs (OJ No. L 175, 19.7.93, p.1). They permit, subject to certain conditions, the bulk transport of raw sugar by sea in receptacles, containers or tankers that are not used exclusively for the transport of foodstuffs.

A Compliance Cost Assessment has not been prepared as these Regulations do not impose any new financial burden on industry.
