These Regulations, which apply to England only, amend the Miscellaneous Food Additives Regulations 1995, as already amended ("the principal Regulations") which apply to the whole of Great Britain. 2. These Regulations implement European Parliament and Council Directive 2003/52/EC[26] amending Directive 95/2/EC[27] as regards the conditions of use for a food additive E425 Konjac. 3. These Regulations provide for E425 Konjac to be used in Foodstuffs in general (except in certain foods as are specified in the principal Regulations) but not in jelly confectionery. Jelly confectionery includes jelly mini-cups. 4. A regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared in respect of these Regulations as the instrument will have no effect on the costs of business. A transposition note setting out how the main elements of Directive 2003/52 are transposed into domestic law has been prepared and placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies may be obtained from the Food Additives Branch, Chemical Safety and Toxicology Division of the Food Standards Agency, Aviation House, 125 Kingsway, London WC2B 6NH.
