Wines: Imports

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether abolishing the VI1 form for wine imports requires primary legislation.

Answer

No power has been conferred specifically for the purpose of abolishing all VI1 forms, and, because abolishing VI1 forms would involve the repeal of retained direct principal EU legislation, new primary legislation would be required to confer such a power. It would also be possible for new primary legislation to be made which removes the provisions requiring the use of the VI1 form directly.
