AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted its position on a proposal to simplify requirements and procedures for chemical products, amending rules on classification, labelling and packaging, cosmetics, and fertilising products.

The adopted text aims to reduce administrative burdens while maintaining high protection levels, for example by making labelling rules more flexible and streamlining approval procedures for cosmetic ingredients.

Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends the proposal, and forwards its position to the Council, the Commission and national parliaments.
