The volume and patterns of alcohol consumption in Ireland are responsible for an enormous public health burden. The data shows that the Irish population is not aware of the health risks of alcohol and the draft regulations submitted here are designed to ensure that Irish consumers are directly informed of those risks and are assisted to make healthier choices about their alcohol consumption.
In accordance with Directive (EU) 2015/1535, Ireland notified the European Commission of the draft Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015 on 27 January 2016 and amendments to the Bill were notified on 3 February 2018. In relation to the proposals on labelling of alcohol products (section 12 of the Bill) the Commission’s response on 2 May 2018 stated that it could not assess the draft measure without more detailed information in relation to its modalities, i.e. the regulations which would provide the detail on how the requirement would operate. The draft regulations attached with this submission are those modalities.
