Proceeding contribution from Richard Bacon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 1 April 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Food Labelling Regulations (Amendment) Bill.


Food Labelling Regulations (Amendment) Bill

My hon. Friend, who is being generous in giving way, prompts me to intervene again on the question of the word ““language””. Directive 2000/13/EC specifically states that language can be used as a legitimate restriction, which means that a label must contain the language of the country where the product is to be sold.
