I somehow seem to have missed this up until now.

Who is the "competent authority" in the UK, I wonder? And how will it be policed? It seems like there's a reasonable possibility of it making no difference whatsoever, but let's say that it is significantly effective. What happens then? Will honey prices rise significantly in the EU due to lack of of "real" honey to replace the fakes? And will lots of the fake stuff get dumped elsewhere?
