dates added to the text: 2022-08-21, 2022-11-21
The introductory notes gained an additional dated sentence stating that from 21 August 2022 cosmetic products containing a referenced substance and not complying with the restrictions shall not be placed on the Union market, and from 21 November 2022 such products shall not be made available on the Union market.
In entry 24, the cross-reference for zinc pyrithione was changed from pointing to entry 101 and Annex V, entry 8, to pointing instead to Annex II, entry X.
The visible remainder of the table entries otherwise appears unchanged between the two texts, though both versions are cut off before the end of the annex.
