Is there an official comprehensive list of E-numbers?

Is there an official comprehensive list of E-numbers?

Does an official comprehensive list of the E-numbers exists?
I'm thinking of something along what the Wikipedia page provides:
Number
Role
Name
Description
Approval
Notes
An example of an entry could be:
E110
Colour
Sunset Yellow FCF
Used to grand a yellow-orange colour
Approved in the European Union, approved in the United States of America,
banned in Norway
Products in the European Union require warnings and its use is being
phased-out
These informations can be found scattered around the internet, but I've
not yet been able to find a single page containing all of them besides the
Wikipedia article (not that I've anything against Wikipedia, but I'd like
an official source instead of a page anyone can edit and whose accuracy
can't be guaranteed), lLooking up the informations through 4/5 documents
every time is impractical.
At the moment I've been able to find these official documents:
Class names and the international numbering system for food additives
Codex general standard for food additives
Current EU approved additives and their E Numbers
