Accuracy In Food Labelling;amdt. Line 1:
EDM number 445A1 in 1999-00, proposed by Mark Todd on 01/03/2000.
after 'House', insert, 'while recognising the need to improve food labelling, notes with concern that the proposals contained in the honourable Member for Eddisbury's Food Labelling Bill contravenes the rules of the European Union single market, and if passed, would lay the UK government open to challenge the European Court of Justice; believes that just as it is wrong for France to flout EU law by banning British beef, it would be wrong for the UK to flout EU law with respect to food labelling; welcomes the new guidance for trading standards officers to crack down on imported products being sold as 'British'; supports the development by the National Farmers' Union and others of a single British produce kite-mark; and strongly endorses the Government's action to date on labelling and its commitment to make further progress at European Union level to improve food labelling with respect to country of origin and method of production.'.
