amending Council Directive 76/768/EEC, concerning cosmetic products, for the purposes of adapting Annex III thereto to technical progress

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products(1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,

After consulting the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products intended for Consumers,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Directive 2004/87/EC of 7 September 2004 amending Council Directive 76/768/EEC, concerning cosmetic products, for the purpose of adapting Annex III thereto to technical progress, extended until 31 December 2005 the provisional use of sixty hair dyes listed in Part 2 of the Annex III to Directive 76/768/EEC under the reference numbers 1 to 60(2).

(2) According to the hair dye strategy, published in the internet, it was agreed with the Member States and stakeholders that the date of July 2005 would be appropriate for the presentation to the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP) of the additional information on the above hair dyes.

(3) Additional information concerning 38 hair dyes listed in Annex III, Part 2 of Directive 76/768/EEC has been submitted by the industry. This information has to be evaluated by the SCCP. Definitive regulation of those hair dyes, on the basis of such evaluations, and its implementation into the laws of Member States will not be possible before 31 December 2006. Therefore, their provisional use in cosmetic products under the restrictions and conditions laid down in Annex III, Part 2 should be prolonged until 31 December 2006.

(4) For 22 hair dyes listed in Annex III, Part 2 of Directive 76/768/EEC such additional information has not been submitted. Definitive regulation of those hair dyes will be considered after the appropriate procedures are carried out. Such definitive regulation and its implementation into the laws of Member States will not be possible before 31 August 2006. Therefore, their provisional use in cosmetic products under the restrictions and conditions laid down in Annex III, Part 2 should be prolonged until 31 August 2006.

(5) Directive 76/768/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,
