EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations which amend the Olive Oil (Marketing Standards) Regulations 2003 (“the 2003 Regulations”), apply to Great Britain and come into force on 10th January 2007.

The 2003 Regulations provide for the application of Article 35 of Regulation No. 136/66/EEC of the Council on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (OJ No.172, 30.9.66, p. 3025) and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1019/2002 on marketing standards for olive oil (“Regulation 1019/2002”) (OJ No.155, 14.6.2002 p. 27).

These Regulations update the reference in the 2003 Regulations to Regulation 1019/2002 to include amendment to that Regulation effected by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1044/2006 amending Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 on marketing standards for olive oil (OJ No. L187, 8.7.2006, p. 20).

The effect of that amendment is to postpone the date of application of article 5(c) of Regulation 1019/2002, (which limits the indication of organoleptic properties of virgin olive oil on the labelling), to 1st July 2008.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
