The Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) (Amendment) Regulations 1999
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.
