Re-cast of Cosmetics Directive
24/03/09 - The process reviewing the current cosmetics legislation (EC Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC) has now been finalised.  After one Reading, the European Parliament has agreed on a text negotiated together with the Council and the Commission.  The single revised piece of legislation has streamlined and modernised legislation which had been made up of many revisions over the years.  The legislation will take the form of a Regulation, making it directly applicable in all the EU member states.  

CTPA's Director-General Dr Chris Flower said: "CTPA has worked with other national associations and Colipa, the European Cosmetics trade association, to ensure that the re-cast reflects best industry practice, is transparent, workable and equitable for large and small companies.  The next step for the CTPA will be to ensure the new requirements are clearly communicated to the industry in time for the new Regulation’s implementation dates."
