This obligation would take effect on February 1, 2016. Because more time is needed for the introduction, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) decided to postpone the introduction in the Netherlands to 31 March 2016. Other EU countries are informed about this decision. The date of introduction can be different per country or even regions per country.
