These Regulations amend the Spreadable Fats (Marketing Standards) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 (“the principal Regulations”). The Regulations make provision (in regulations 3 and 7 and the Schedule) for the enforcement and execution of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 577/97 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No. 2991/94 laying down standards for spreadable fats and of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1898/87 on the protection of designations used in the marketing of milk and milk products, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1278/97 and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2181/97.
The subject matter of the detailed Commission rules is briefly indicated in column 3 of the substituted Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations. Article 5a of the Commission Regulation contains a transitional provision in respect of trade marks registered in Austria, Finland or Sweden prior to 1st January 1995 and using the sales description “butter”.
These Regulations also make a few technical and drafting amendments (regulations 4(a), 5(a) and 6) and some consequential amendments (regulations 4(b) and 5(b)).
Use of the designation “butter” is also restricted by Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1898/87 (O.J. No. L182, 3.7.87, p. 36), which is enforced by the Milk and Milk Products (Protection of Designations) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1990 (S.R. 1990 No. 103 as amended by S.R. 1991 No. 203).
