The EU "Deforestation-free" Regulation in the time of simplification
Following the agreement reached between the European co-legislators in December 2025, the Commission published, on 4 May 2026, a report on the simplification of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, known as the “Deforestation-free” Regulation or EUDR, along with a series of additional measures aimed at ensuring smoother implementation by the time it enters into force on the 30 December 2026.
Omnibus VI: let the trilogue begin
Following the European Parliament’s adoption of its position on Omnibus VI (the European Commission’s proposal to simplify the requirements applicable to chemicals) during its plenary session on 29 April 2026, the focus now shifts to the trilogue – the negotiations between the Commission, the Council and the Parliament.
Regulation (EU) 2026/909: new restrictions for 12 cosmetic ingredients
On 28 April 2026, the Commission published Regulation (EU) 2026/909 in the Official Journal of the European Union, amending Annexes II, III, V, and VI to Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 to update the conditions of use for 12 ingredients. Its provisions will enter into force from 1 January 2027.
4-MBC, Silver, Hexyl salicylate... what’s changing on 1 May 2026
This 1 May 2026 marks the entry into force of the provisions of two European regulations, with practical implications for several ingredients, including the UV filter 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor (4-MBC), Silver, Hexyl Salicylate, and the preservatives o-Phenylphenol and Sodium o-Phenylphenate… A reminder of the new restrictions.
Omnibus VI: the controversy continues
The European Parliament’s amendments to Omnibus VI (and in particular Article 15 of the Cosmetics Regulation on CMRs), adopted by the Committee on 15 April 2026, have not settled all concerns. Whilst industry representatives welcome the prospect of an “effective regulatory framework”, consumer organisations and certain politicians are up in arms.
