These Regulations implement parts of the Windsor Framework by applying public health, food marketing, and organic product standards to retail goods moving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland under the Retail Movement Scheme. They adapt retained EU and GB law to ensure a consistent set of standards applies, remove duplication, and provide legal clarity for goods movements. The Regulations also introduce updates to plant health controls and official checks.
The Regulations support the smooth flow of retail goods into Northern Ireland while safeguarding public health, food standards, and plant health. They ensure that relevant UK rules apply in areas where EU law would otherwise have applied, aligning standards and procedures across the UK Internal Market while respecting the Windsor Frameworkâs commitments.
