Beuc paper tracks EU position on cosmetics in TTIP

NGO, Beuc has published a document comparing the EU’s position on cosmetics from May 2014 to February 2015, to illustrate the Commission's updated position in the TTIP negotiations.

The consumer organisation put together the document after the EC dropped the idea of a mutual recognition of lists between the EU and the US of allowed and prohibited cosmetics substances in Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership talks.

It compares the EU’s position on cosmetics in May 2014 and then again in February 2015, the results of which Beuc states it is happy to see, and that the European Commission had taken its comments into account.
