Scotland is required to implement EU legislation governing rules for the marketing of fruit and vegetables.
In 2009 these were substantively changed by the EU and resulted in Scottish Regulations (SSI 2009/225). The EU has recently reviewed and recast the regulation (1580/2007) and the changes for these products can be found in regulation 543/2011. Changes are minimal, but some aspects of the marketing standards have altered and further derogations have been granted.
