Council and Parliament negotiators have agreed to simplify rules for cosmetics, chemical labelling, and fertiliser products in the EU. These changes aim to enhance flexibility in regulations while maintaining high levels of protection for human health and the environment. Notably, cosmetics with harmful substances must be phased out faster, labelling rules should be clear for consumers, and rules on fertilisers will be simplified for EU producers and farmers. The updated legislation emphasizes the importance of timely and clear labelling, as well as the removal of hazardous substances from cosmetic products.
