Abstract

The growing range of EEC Directives and Regulations for food products, some of which have never been subject to statutory control in this country, with compositional standards, and in particular, prescribed methods of analysis something which has not featured in the food legislative policies here must be causing enforcement authorities and food processors to think seriously, if as yet not furiously. Some of the prescribed methods of analysis are likely to be less adaptable to modern processing methods of foods and as Directives seem to be requiring more routine testing, there is the matter of cost. Directive requirements are to some extent negotiable the EEC Commission allow for regional differences, e.g., in milk and bread but it has to be remembered that EEC Regulations bind Memberstates from the date of notification by the Commission, overriding the national law. Although not so frequently used for food legislation, they constitute one of the losses of sovereign power, paraded by the antimarket lobby. Regulations contain usual clauses that they shall enter into force on the day following publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities and that they shall be binding in their entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
