UK Internal Trade: Northern Ireland
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the requirement under the Windsor Framework for UK-wide labelling of goods as not intended for the EU will be required for all goods manufactured or sold in the UK, or only for goods that are intended for Northern Ireland.
- Answer
-
Labelling requirements will apply to a targeted category of goods, and will take effect in a phased way. These requirements will ensure that the same goods are on the shelves across the whole United Kingdom. This is the right approach to support and safeguard the functioning of the UK internal market. That is why, as noted in the Command Paper, we intend for these labelling requirements to apply UK-wide from October 2024. We will continue to work closely with industry in advance of those changes taking effect.
