Most labelling guidelines published by DEFRA (covering such topics as “sell-by” and “display-until” dates) are purely intended for use within the United Kingdom, since discussions within the EU on these matters take place within the framework of the Food Information Regulation. The only exception is the United Kingdom's voluntary labelling guidance for fresh produce, food and drink originating from the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Discussions have taken place about that guidance within the context of the Mashreq/Mahgreb European Council Working Group, during which the initiative taken by the United Kingdom provoked widespread interest. The European External Action Service has called on all EU member states, as well as the European Commission, to take appropriate steps in relation to labelling advice, and we have made it clear that the United Kingdom would be ready to provide, on request, further information about our own scheme.
