EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/2152) ("the Principal Regulations") to give effect to Commission Directive 2006/65/EC (O.J. No. L198, 20.07.2006, p.11) ("the Directive"). The Directive is the 46th directive to amend Council Directive 76/768/EEC (O.J. L262, 27.9.1976, p.169) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on cosmetic products. Council Directive 76/768/EEC (as previously amended) has been implemented by the Principal Regulations.

Regulation 2(2) amends the list of substances which cosmetic products may not contain by adding further substances which are banned from use in hair dyes. Regulation 2(5) amends Part 2 of Schedule 4 by extending the date up to which the substances there listed can be used until 31st December 2007. Regulation 2(4) removes four substances from that list.

A regulatory impact assessment of the effect that these Regulations will have on costs to businesses is available from the Consumer and Competition Policy Directorate of the Department of Trade and Industry, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET and on the DTI website (www.dti.gov.uk).
