(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order restricts the carrying on of certain other trades by a distiller or rectifier within 3 kilometres of his distillery or rectifying house. Prior to 31st August 1992 the restriction was within a distance of 2 miles.
This change is made in order to comply with EC Council Directive 80/181/EEC (OJ No. L39, 15.12.80, p.40) as amended by Council Directive 89/617/EEC (OJ No. L357, 7.12.89, p.28), which requires Member States to replace references in legislation to most imperial measurements by metric counterparts.
