MODIFIED +3,470 −1,937 Annex III LIST OF SUBSTANCES WHICH COSMETIC PRODUCTS MUST NOT CONTAIN EXCEPT SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS LAID DOWN§
applies from: unknown (the text changed beyond its dates, so no date that moved can be read as the application date)
dates added to the text: 2018-09-25, 2018-12-25
Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
The introductory notes section gains two new footnote-style statements, one concerning cosmetic products containing peanut oil, extracts and derivatives, and another concerning cosmetic products containing hydrolyzed wheat proteins, each stating separate dates on which non-complying products are addressed for placing on the Union market and for being made available on the Union market.
These two added statements do not appear in the earlier version of the introductory notes at all.
The remainder of the visible tabular entries in Annex III appear unchanged between the two texts, though both texts are truncated before their end, so any further differences beyond the shown portion cannot be described.
