EXPLANATORY NOTE
These Regulations amend the Wine Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/2936) (“the Regulations”).
Regulation 3 updates the definitions of “the European Regulations”, in particular to include references to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/34 (sub-paragraph (e), Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/273 (sub-paragraph (f)), Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/274 (sub-paragraph (g)), and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 (sub-paragraph (h)). Regulations 5 and 9 also update references to the European Regulations.
Regulation 3 also inserts a new definition of “the Agency”, which means the Food Standards Agency, or, in Scotland, Food Standards Scotland, and regulations 4, 5, 7 and 8 make amendments as a consequence of that new definition. Regulation 3 also updates a reference to the Northern Ireland Department responsible for enforcing the Regulations in relation to import and export.
Regulation 6 removes references to a vineyard register and also provisions requiring action by specified dates which have now passed.
Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
