The words 'give priority to traffic approaching from your right' are
not qualified by the words 'provided that such vehicle is already on
the roundabout'. However 'give way' does not mean stop so I think the
test would be whether the other driver is forced to change speed or
direction.

Yes, in the same way as you are not *always* required to stop at a
give-way junction (eg a minor road at a T junction or crossroads), even
if there is traffic coming from your left or right, providing it is far
enough away that you can turn and join/cross that stream of traffic
without making it slow down.

The key phrase is 'give way'. If you don't force the other vehicle to slow
or brake, then he is not giving way to you.

This is in contrast to a stop junction where you must come to a complete
halt (and maybe put the handbrake on for a microsecond if you are taking
your test!) even if there is no traffic in sight.

Denoted by a solid, rather than broken, white line. If it is still visible.
