VI Simplification Omnibus

Upcoming regulatory changes for classification/labelling of chemicals, cosmetics and fertilisers

The VI Omnibus Package for chemicals is the latest in a series of Simplification Omnibus proposals presented under the current Commission mandate. It will be complemented by the forthcoming ECHA Basic Regulation, which will equip the European Chemicals Agency with the resources and flexibility needed to fulfil its expanding tasks, and by a VII Omnibus for plant protection products and an VIII Environmental Omnibus to further reduce administrative burdens.

These proposals are adopted under the ordinary legislative procedure, with Article 114 TFEU as their legal basis. They will therefore undergo full legislative scrutiny before adoption.
