I move amendment No. 15:


In page 10, between lines 31 and 32, to insert the following:"(g) not contain any item incorporated into the packaging other than as provided for by law.".
I wish to clarify - I am not sure I made it clear when we discussed this in another context and I said I did not intend to press this amendment - that the regulation as it stands will ban inserts and anything on the packaging, but it will not actually ban something that is embedded in the packaging. We believe this leaves a legal vulnerability. I ask the Minister to address this aspect of the matter when he brings the Bill through the Dáil.
