The Weights and Measures (Food) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016
These Regulations make the necessary adjustments to remove provisions from weights and measures law applying in Northern Ireland that overlap or conflict with Regulation (EU) No1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the provision of food information to consumers (“the FIC Regulation”). These Regulations enable the enforcement of certain provisions of the FIC Regulation, to the extent that the provisions relate to net quantity. The FIC Regulation sets out common principles, requirements and procedures in relation to food information.
