EXPLANATORY NOTE.

These Regulations revoke a derogation availed of by Ireland, in giving effect to Council Directive 79/112/EEC, in relation to the designation of ingredients belonging to the Categories listed in Annex II to that Directive. As a result of this revocation, an ingredient belonging to one of these categories must be designated, in the listing of ingredients on a foodstuff, in accordance with the provisions of the second indent of Article 6.5 (b). This requires, mainly, that such an ingredient be designated by the name of the category followed by the specific name of the ingredient or its EEC Number.
