In March 2006 The Food Standards Agency co-ordinated the public consultation on ‘Labelling: Competitiveness, Consumer Information and Better Regulation for the EU’ from the European Commission, which is part of the EU review of labelling.
We responded in support of the implementation of a front of pack signpost labelling scheme across the EU, to complement back of pack nutrition labelling and to help consumers to make dietary choices. We also responded in support of European Commission action to simplify sunscreen labelling across the EU.
We would also like to see all sunbeds manufactured and sold in the EU bearing a permanent statement warning of the risks associated with use.
