During the vote in the European Parliament plenary session, on Wednesday 29 April in Strasbourg, on the package to simplify the rules on chemical products, the Greens/EFA group will try to obtain a ban on all use of endocrine disruptors and PFAS (forever chemical substances) in cosmetics within 18 months.
The group has tabled a number of amendments to this effect, as well as another aimed at removing the additional deadlines granted to dangerous products, in particular carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic substances (CMR).
In addition, a group of MEPs from several political groups has tabled an amendment stipulating that the “intentional” use of PFAS in cosmetics and their ingredients should be banned.
According to a European source, these amendments by the Greens/EFA group have very little chance of being adopted in plenary due to an agreement between the EPP, ECR, Renew Europe and S&D groups on the mandate (https://aeur.eu/f/loq ) adopted in the competent committees of the European Parliament (see EUROPE 13849/9).
