Emendrix checks every change against three independent sources. Where they disagree it says so rather than picking a winner.

MODIFIED +527 −0 Annex II LIST OF SUBSTANCES PROHIBITED IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS

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: 2019-05-01, 2019-08-01

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 footnote block at the top of the Annex gains two additional sentences repeating the same phrasing about substances not being placed or made available on the Union market, but with the dates changed to 1 May 2019 and 1 August 2019 instead of 23 August 2019 and 23 August 2021.

The numbered substance list itself, as far as visible before the text is cut off, is unchanged between the two versions.

Both texts are truncated before their end, so any further differences beyond the shown portion cannot be described.

MODIFIED +5,072 −2,607 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: 2019-05-01, 2019-08-01

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 AFTER text adds four additional footnote statements, each stating that from 1 May 2019 cosmetic products containing a given substance and not complying with the restrictions shall not be placed on the Union market, and that from 1 August 2019 such products shall not be made available on the Union market.

These four statements do not appear in the BEFORE text, which ends its introductory footnotes after the peanut oil and hydrolyzed wheat protein statements.

The remainder of the shown text, including the numbered entries, appears unchanged between the two versions, and both texts are truncated before their end.
