(This note is not part of the Regulations)

1.  These Regulations amend the Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula Regulations 1995, as amended (“the 1995 Regulations”), in relation to England. The 1995 Regulations extend to Great Britain. These Regulations implement for England Commission Directive 2003/14/EC amending Directive 91/321/EEC on infant formulae and follow-on formulae. The Regulations come into force on 6th March 2005.

(b)make some consequential amendments (regulations 3 and 6).

3.  In implementation of the final sentence of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/321/EEC as substituted by Commission Directive 1999/50/EC, provision is made as to analytical methods for determining levels of pesticide residues (regulation 7).
