  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1284) (“the Principal Regulations”) to give effect to Commission Directives 2008/123/EC, (O.J. L. 340/71, 19.12.2008), (“the 2008 Directive”) and Commission Directive 2009/6/EC (O.J. L. 36/15, 5.2.2009), (“the 2009 Directive”). The 2008 Directive and the 2009 Directive amend Council Directive 76/768/EEC (O.J. No. L262, 27.9.76, p.169) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on cosmetic products. Council Directive 76/768/EEC (as previously amended) has been implemented by the Principal Regulations.\nParagraph (a) of regulation 2 adds the 2008 Directive and the 2009 Directive to Schedule 2 to the Principal Regulations, the list of Directives implemented by the Principal Regulations.\nParagraph (b)(i) of regulation 2 amends the description of one entry in Schedule 3 to the Principal Regulations (List of Substances which must not form part of the composition of cosmetic products (unless otherwise specified)), and paragraph (b)(ii) adds certain substances to Schedule 3.\nParagraph (c) of regulation 2 adds certain substances to Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the Principal Regulations (List of substances which cosmetic products must not contain except subject to restrictions and conditions).\nParagraph (d) of regulation 2 deletes one entry in Part 1 of Schedule 7 to the Principal Regulations and makes a minor amendment to another entry.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no significant impact on the costs of business.\nCopies of a transposition note relating to these Regulations have been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies are also available to the public from the Consumer and Competition Policy Directorate of the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET.",
