Local retailers having to display ‘Not for EU’ Labelling instore
Commenting ahead of 1st October, which sees local retailers having to display ‘Not for EU’ Labelling instore, Retail NI Chief Executive Glyn Roberts said:
“Retail NI has engaged extensively with DEFRA, DAERA and UK Government Ministers to ensure that the instore labelling requirements and inspection regime will be as light a touch as possible for our members”.
“We have taken a pragmatic solution-based approach to this issue and other aspects of the Windsor Accord.”
“While we did not seek this ‘Labelling’ we understand the importance of reassuring the EU of the integrity of the Single Market”.
“With the implementation of the Windsor Accord now moving forward, we need to see more effective structured engagement with the local retail sector and for the UK Government and EU to be flexible as possible as challenges arise”.
