MODIFIED +853 −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: 2025-02-01, 2025-11-01
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 preceding the substance table gains an additional sentence stating that from 1 February 2025 cosmetic products containing that substance shall not be placed on the Union market, and from 1 November 2025 such products shall not be made available on the Union market.
This added sentence does not appear in the earlier version of the footnote text.
The remainder of the visible table entries is unchanged between the two texts, and both texts are truncated before their end, so no comparison can be made of what follows the cut.
