The European Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association (Colipa) has welcomed the publication of the European Commission proposal to recast the existing Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC.
The review is seeking to streamline the various amendments and changes made to the original directive since its inception 30 years ago, in order to make them directly applicable in all 27 EU Member States.
“Consumers benefit from an innovative cosmetics industry that provides high quality and safe products,” said Brtil Heerink, Colipa’s director-general. “Colipa therefore fully supports this initiative to update and streamline legislation continuing to ensure consumer confidence in our industry and its products.”
