UNITED KINGDOM SUMMARY All EC Directives implemented. No additional national provisions. Since devolution was introduced in 1999, England, Scotland and Wales have separate legislation. Northern Ireland has had separate legislation for many years. Legislation is published by the Stationery Office Limited under the authority of Her Majesty s Stationery Office (HMSO). Legislation issued since 1997 is also published, free-of-charge, on HMSO s website at http://www.hmso.gov.uk/. Most legislation is made under powers of the Food Safety Act 1990, in Great Britain, and the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991, in Northern Ireland. The ceramics regulations, which apply across the UK, are made under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
