The Weights and Measures (Miscellaneous Foods) (Amendment) Order 2005
This Order amends the Weights and Measures (Miscellaneous Foods) Order 1988 (“the 1988 Order”). Article 3 of the 1988 Order requires that certain foods are pre-packed only in the quantities prescribed in Schedule 1 to the 1988 Order. This Order gives effect to the judgment of the European Court of Justice in Case C-3/99 Cidrerie Ruwet SA v Cidre Stassen SA and HP Bulmer Ltd by exempting from that requirement imports into the UK of pre-packed foods made up in a quantity which is not specified in Schedule 1 to the 1988 Order from another member State of the European Community, or one of the other States in the European Economic Area, provided that it is lawful to sell such packages in that quantity in that other State.
