These Regulations, which apply to Wales, implement Directive 2000/36/EC of the European Parliament and the Council relating to cocoa and chocolate products intended for human consumption (OJ No. L197, 3.8.2000, p.19). They revoke and replace the Cocoa and Chocolate Products Regulations 1976, as amended, in relation to Wales.
