This Order revokes the Trade Descriptions (Place of Production) (Marking) Order 1988.

That Order required certain goods, when supplied or exposed or offered for supply in the course of a trade or business and presented in such a way as to give a misleading indication of their place of manufacture or production, to be marked with or accompanied by a corrective statement of their actual place of manufacture or production.

The 1988 Order was textually amended by the Marketing Authorisations for Veterinary Medicinal Products Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/3142) and The Medicines for Human Use (Marketing Authorisations Etc.) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/3144), so as to exclude articles or substances to which those Regulations apply from the scope of the 1988 Order. Those Regulations were made under section 2(2) European Communities Act 1972 and implement and supplement various European Community instruments relating, respectively, to the marketing of veterinary products and medicinal products for human use.
