Are you involved in bringing cosmetic products to the EU market? Here's your chance to help shape the future of cosmetic regulations in the European Union. The European Commission has just launched a Call for Evidence to evaluate the effectiveness of the current Cosmetic Products Regulation.
This evaluation comes at a crucial time for our industry. The regulation has been instrumental in creating a unified legal framework across the EU, serving two primary purposes: protecting consumer health through strict safety requirements and ensuring a well-functioning internal market for cosmetic products.
For manufacturers and traders, this evaluation presents a valuable opportunity to share your practical experience with the current framework. Whether you've faced challenges or discovered efficient ways to meet the requirements, your input can help improve the regulatory landscape.
The consultation period runs from 21 February to 21 March 2025, giving you one month to submit your feedback. The Commission welcomes input from all stakeholders, including businesses of all sizes, civil society organisations, public authorities, and individual citizens. You can submit your feedback in any of the 24 official EU languages, making the process accessible to all EU market participants.
What makes this consultation particularly important is its potential impact on future regulatory developments. The Commission will use the gathered feedback to assess whether the current rules are working as intended and identify areas that might need improvement.
