This document analyses responses to the public consultation on the Government's proposals to implement the EU Directive on Nominal Quantities for Pre-packages & sets out the Government's position as a result. The consultation opened on 23 October 2008 & closed on 1 January 2009. The aim of the consultation was to gather views amongst all interested parties on implementation of the Directive, the future of prescribed quantities for non pre-packaged alcoholic drinks & unwrapped bread & the quantity labelling aspects of the EU proposal for a Food Information Regulation. The Government is still considering its response in relation to changes to the law governing prescribed quantities for unwrapped bread & non pre-packaged alcohol. A full analysis of the responses & a Government response on those issues will be published by 1 April.
