These Regulations, which apply to Wales and come into force on 28th November 2003, implement Council Directive 2001/112/EC relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption (OJ No. L10, 12.1.2002, p.58). They revoke and replace the Fruit Juices and Fruit Nectars Regulations 1977, as amended, in relation to Wales.
The Regulations —

prescribe the raw materials, treatment processes and additional ingredients to be used in preparation of designated products (regulation 2(2) and Schedules 2,3 and 4);
prescribe minimum fruit juice content for products bearing the reserved description “fruit nectar” (regulation 2(2) and Schedule 5);
provide for the circumstances in which the Regulations apply (regulation 3);
restrict the use of reserved descriptions to the designated products to which they relate (regulation 4);
prescribe labelling requirements for such products (regulation 5);
make provision as to the manner of marking and labelling of designated products (regulations 5 and 6);
specify a penalty for contraventions and enforcement authorities (regulation 7);
in accordance with Articles 2 and 3 of Council Directive 89/397/EEC on the official control of foodstuffs (OJ No. L186, 30.6.1989, p.23) and the European Economic Area Agreement, specify a defence in relation to exports (regulation 8);
apply various provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 (regulation 9);
revoke the previous Regulations and make consequential amendments and transitional provision (regulation 10 and 11).
