Regular notification 2019-04-01
G/SPS/N/MAR/60

Description

In light of the development of the soft drink market, it was considered necessary to establish a reference framework that would help facilitate trade while safeguarding aspects related to product safety and quality, consumer information and fair trade.
A draft Decree was therefore implemented to govern the sector in question. The main objectives of this draft text are:
1. To provide definitions for certain products placed on the market, particularly instant beverages, energy drinks, milk beverages, tea- and coffee-based drinks, and iced tea; and
2. to clearly establish labelling specifications for the products subject to this draft Decree, so as to prevent any form of misunderstanding, and specify the warnings concerning energy drinks.
