Subject to a transitional provision, the Regulations specify new purity criteria in relation to the additives specified in the Annex to Commission Directive 2001/ 30/EC (regulations 3(b) and (c), 4 and 8) and make related amendments to certain Regulations as regards references in those Regulations to the principal Regulations (regulation 9).
