Imported Food Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1997
These Regulations contain measures relating to the control of certain types of food imported into Northern Ireland which are not in free circulation within the European Community. They replace the general provisions of the Imported Food Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1991 with a new set of provisions for all food other than exempt products of animal origin. The Regulations also contain amendments to the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 which implement Commission Directive 96/3/EC which grants a derogation from certain provisions of Council Directive 93/43/EEC on the hygiene of foodstuffs (O.J. No. L.175, 19.7.93, p. 1).
