EXPLANATORY NOTE.

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

These Regulations revoke the European Communities (Food Additives other than Colours and Sweeteners) Regulations 2002 ( S.I. No. 613 of 2002 ) and bring into effect new Regulations. The new Regulations give further effect to European Parliament and Council Directive No. 95/2/EC¹ of 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners as amended by Directive 96/85/EC² of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 1996, and Directive 98/72/EC³ of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 October 1998, and Directive 2001/5/EC⁴ of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2001 [previously transposed by the European Communities (Food Additives other than Colours and Sweeteners) Regulations 2002 ( S.I. No. 613 of 2002 )].

These Regulations also give effect to Directive 2003/52/EC⁵ of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2003 which amends Annex IV to Directive 95/2/EC¹ , as amended, by modifying the conditions of use for E 425 Konjac as regards its use in jelly confectionery, including jelly-mini-cups. This amendment is based on information provided by Member States that jelly-mini-cups containing E 425 Konjac constitute a life-threatening risk.

These Regulations may be cited as the European Communities (Food Additives other than Colours and Sweeteners) Regulations 2004.
