<p>Proposals addressed by the Nutrition (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 public
consultation are predominantly technical in nature, simply changing European Union-specific
references so that relevant legislation remains effective when the United Kingdom
is no longer a member state.</p><p>Plans outlined in the consultation would therefore
provide continuity and assurance for business and consumers, as they seek to mirror
existing European systems domestically as far as is practically possible.</p><p>As
the duration of a consultation is informed by the nature and impact of the proposals
we consider a relatively short consultation period appropriate, and therefore have
no plans to extend its length.</p>
