Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which apply to England, implement Council Directive 2001/113/EC concerning fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and sweetened chestnut purée intended for human consumption (OJ No. L10, 12.1.2002, p. 67) and also contain national measures. They revoke and replace the Jam and Similar Products Regulations 1981, as amended, in relation to England.

The Regulations—

(a)prescribe definitions and reserved descriptions for certain specified jam products (regulation 2 and Schedules 1 and 2). The products described in the entries numbered 1 to 7 of Schedule 1 are those in relation to which the Directive applies whilst those specified in the entries numbered 8 to 11 in Schedule 1 are included as national measures;

(b)provide for the circumstances in which the Regulations apply (regulation 3);

(c)restrict the use of reserved descriptions to the specified jam and similar products to which they relate (regulation 4);

(d)prescribe labelling requirements for such products (regulation 5);

(e)make provision as to the manner of marking and labelling specified jam and similar products (regulation 6);

(f)specify a penalty for contraventions of the Regulations, enforcement authorities and, in accordance with Articles 2 and 3 of Council Directive 89/397/EEC on the official control of foodstuffs (OJ No. L186, 30.6.89, p. 23) and the European Economic Area Agreement, a defence in relation to exports (regulations 7 and 8);

(g)apply various provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 (regulation 9);

(h)revoke the previous Regulations and make consequential amendments and transitional provision (regulations 10 and 11).

A full Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared and placed in the Library of each House of Parliament, together with a Transposition Note setting out how the main elements of the European legislation referred to above are transposed in these Regulations. Copies may be obtained from the Food Labelling and Standards Division of the Food Standards Agency, Aviation House, 125 Kingsway, London WC2B 6NH.

Functions formerly exercisable by “the Ministers” (being, in relation to England and Wales and acting jointly, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Secretaries of State respectively concerned with health in England and food and health in Wales and, in relation to Scotland, the Secretary of State) are now exercisable in relation to England by the Secretary of State pursuant to paragraph 8 of Schedule 5 to the Food Standards Act 1999 (1999 c. 28), and paragraphs 12 and 21 of that Schedule amend respectively sections 17 and 48 of the Food Safety Act 1990. Functions of “the Ministers” so far as exercisable in relation to Wales were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672), as read with section 40(3) of the 1999 Act, and those functions so far as exercisable in relation to Scotland were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (1998 c. 46), as read with section 40(2) of the 1999 Act. Regulation 13(4) of the Food Standards Act 1999 (Transitional and Consequential Provisions and Savings) (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/656) expressly authorises the Secretary of State to amend or revoke existing Regulations made or having effect as if made by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (whether with others or not) under the Food Safety Act 1990.
