EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
    These Regulations amend the Fruit Juices and Fruit Nectars Regulations 1977 and the Fruit Juices and Fruit Nectars (Scotland) Regulations 1977 ("the principal Regulations") to implement Commission Directive 93/45/EEC concerning the manufacture of nectars without the addition of sugars or honey (OJ No. L159, 1.7.93, p.133).
    Regulation 3 amends the definition of "fruit nectar" in regulation 2(1) of the principal Regulations. The effect of this amendment is to allow fruit nectar to be manufactured using apricots, other specified fruit or any admixture thereof without the addition of sugar or honey, where the naturally high sugar content of such fruit so warrants.
