The EU Commission is planning to simplify the Cosmetics Directive

76/768/EEC - which has been amended approx 50 times to date - see

http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/cosmetics/html/cosm_simpl_dir_en.htm.

This is " to simplify the legal framework for economic activities in

the EU. " More explicitly an internal policy document states:

" If European companies are to continue to play the leading role in

this sector, a more modern and efficient regulatory framework is

required. Therefore, the Commission seeks the views of stakeholders,

like the industry, consumer organisations and the academic world, on

the following aspects:

 

- How can administrative costs be reduced? - How can aspects of

self-assessment and responsibility of the manufacturer be

strengthened? - How can the high level of safety in cosmetics be

maintained without unnecessary red tape? "

 

I think the costs/red tape aspects was what Cropwatch was getting at

in the 'Boycott the 40th IFRA Amendment' pdf, when it said in its

opening statement, that Europe was a hostile environment for the

aroma trade - to which Mr Vey of IFRA took exception.

 

There is a Public Consultation document about the subject on the

'Net somewhere - but here we go again, the pace of regulatory change

is impossible to keep up with - submissions must be in by

16.03.07. This is against a background of breathtaking changes in

many other cosmetic regulation areas.

 

Democracy? Of course not.

 

Hyperbureaucracy? Alive and well in Brussels.
