2. The Novel Foods and Novel Food Ingredients Regulations 1997(1), insofar as they apply to England, shall be amended by the insertion of “—(1)” immediately before the text of regulation 6 (application of various provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990) and the insertion of the following paragraph at the end of that regulation:
“(2) Section 25(3) (other than paragraph (b)) and (4) of the Act (which restricts disclosure) shall apply to information submitted to the Minister as part of a request made by reference to Article 4.1, as it applies to information relating to an individual business obtained by means of an order under section 25(1) of the Act; its application to information so submitted is subject to such modifications as are necessary for a disclosure in contravention of section 25(3) to be a breach of duty owed to the person who submitted the information but not an offence.”.
