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

MODIFIED ±0 Annex II

applies from: unknown

Sources disagree — the EU's own amendment metadata and the amending act's instructions found this change; the text comparison finds no difference in the provision's text. All are shown; none is overruled.

No explanation shipped — the structural diff did not see this change, so it carries no text; another signal named the unit and the disagreement ships as `disputed`.

text before / after

No text on either side: this unit was named by a signal that carries no text, and only the structural diff carries any.

MODIFIED +4,789 −4,622 Annex III LIST OF SUBSTANCES WHICH COSMETIC PRODUCTS MUST NOT CONTAIN EXCEPT SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS LAID DOWN

applies from: unchanged

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.

Both the BEFORE and AFTER excerpts of Annex III are identical as far as the visible text extends, with any difference falling only in the portion cut off by truncation.

No wording change can be identified within the shown entries, so the observable text reflects no substantive or formal alteration up to the truncation point.
