Marking and Labelling. 1. Without prejudice to the provisions of Articles 47 and 48 of this Agreement, and with respect to technical regulations relating to labelling or marking requirements, the Parties reaffirm the principles of Chapter 2.2 of the TBT Agreement that such requirements are not prepared, adopted or applied with a view to or with the effect of creating unnecessary obstacles to international trade. For this purpose, such labelling or marking requirements shall not be more trade-restrictive than necessary to fulfil a legitimate objective, taking account of the risks that non-fulfilment would create. 2. Regarding obligatory marking or labelling in particular, the Parties agree that: (a) they will endeavour to minimise their needs for marking or labelling, except as required for the adoption of the Union acquis in this area and for the protection of health, safety or the environment, or for other reasonable public policy purposes; (b) a Party may determine the form of labelling or marking but shall not require the approval, the registration or the certification of labels; and (c) the Parties retain the right to require the information on the label or marking to be in a specified language.
