Indeed, their application often requires an expert evaluation of the information available and a legal interpretation of the common criteria, which can be difficult and highly subjective. Therefore, it was decided to enforce this relatively soft regulatory framework for a few years and then determine whether or not it adequately regulates the market. Indeed, Article 20 of the EU Cosmetics Regulation says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cBy 11 July 2016, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council a report regarding the use of claims on the basis of the common criteria<\/strong> adopted under the second subparagraph. If the report concludes that claims used in respect of cosmetic products are not in conformity with the common criteria, the Commission shall take appropriate measures to ensure compliance in cooperation with the Member States.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On September 19th, the EU Commission handed over its <a href=\"http:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/PDF\/?uri=CELEX:52016DC0580&amp;qid=1474534456322&amp;from=EN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report<\/a> to the EU Parliament and EU Council, which summarizes in 11 pages how far cosmetic claims are properly regulated in the EU. For this report, the EU Commission used the data provided by 21 EU Member States and covering the analysis of 38,995 cosmetic claims. Out of these 38,995 cosmetic claims, 3,730 were considered as non-compliant (9.6 percent). It is reported that 70 percent of the non-compliant claims were found online but only 17 percent on the actual products and 13 percent on brochures.<\/p>\n<p>On this basis, the EU Commission concludes that \u201c<em>the existing European regulatory framework for claims and advertising of cosmetic products is very comprehensive and ensures a high level of consumer protection. At the same time, it enables the European cosmetics industry to be competitive within the EU and in the world<\/em>,\u201d and does not recommend the enforcement of a stricter system for the regulation of claims.<\/p>\n<p>However, the EU Commission recognizes that the current framework does not offer a satisfactory solution for the management of the \u2018free from\u2019 and \u2018hypoallergenic\u2019 claims. On this point, the EU Commission makes reference to the ongoing work aiming to improve the situation.<\/p>\n<p>To be more specific, the EU Commission and the EU Member States revised the guidelines for the application of the common criteria and added two annexes, one on \u2018free from\u2019 claims (annex III) and one on the \u2018hypoallergenic\u2019 claim (annex IV). These guidelines are still a draft but should be finalized very soon with no significant changes expected. Once approved by all EU Member States, the application of these guidelines will become mandatory, albeit with a transition period of two years for correcting the claims outlined above.<\/p>\n<h3>Did you know Prospector includes Regulatory Data?<\/h3>\n<p>Learn more about Regulatory Snapshots available on over 16,000 Personal Care &amp; Cosmetics product profile pages.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/pcc-regulatory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\nClick Here<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\nAbout the Author<br \/>\nAbout BIORIUS<br \/>\nAbout the Author<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"aboutauthor\"><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/media\/2016\/08\/Picture-Fred-Lebreux.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"158\" \/>Fred Lebreux holds a Ph.D. in organic chemistry and a master in management.
