  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\n1 These Regulations apply in relation to England only. They implement in relation to England Commission Directive 2006/33/EC amending Directive 95/45/EC as regards sunset yellow FCF (E110) and titanium dioxide (E171) (OJ No. L82, 21.3.2006, p.10).\n2 They do so by updating the definition of “Directive 95/45/EC” (Commission Directive 95/45/EC laying down specific criteria of purity concerning colours for use in foodstuffs, OJ No. L226, 29.9.1995, p.1) that appears in regulation 2(1) of the Colours in Food Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/3124, as already amended), which extend to the whole of Great Britain, to reflect the amendments made to that Directive by Commission Directive 2006/33/EC (regulation 2).\n3 Commission Directive 2006/33/EC amends Commission Directive 95/45/EC by substituting revised purity criteria for the colours sunset yellow FCF (E110) and titanium dioxide (E171).\n4 A full Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.\n5 A Transposition Note has been prepared and placed in the Library of each House of Parliament, setting out how the main elements of the European legislation referred to above are transposed in these Regulations.
