ANGLO-PORTUGUESE COMMERCIAL TREATY ACT 1916 - SECT 1

Further limitation of the use of the description ""port.''

1.(1) The description "port" applied to wine the produce of Portugal, imported
into the United Kingdom after the commencement of this Act, shall be deemed to
be a false trade description within the meaning of [the Trade Descriptions Act
1968], if the wine on importation into the United Kingdom was not accompanied
by a certificate issued by the competent Portuguese authorities to the effect
that it was a wine to which by the law of Portugal the description "port" may
be applied, and that Act shall have effect accordingly:

Provided that it shall be a good defence to any proceedings under that Act in
respect of such a description as aforesaid if it is proved that the wine to
which the description is applied is intended solely for exportation from the
United Kingdom.

(2) This provision is in addition to and not in derogation of any of the
provisions contained in the principal Act.
