CLP Regulation: EU Commission Meets Industry Partway
As part of its action plan for the chemical industry, the EU Commission presented a draft omnibus regulation on July 8, 2025. The EU proposes amendments to the CLP Regulation, including revised labeling requirements.
Less bureaucracy and lower costs
The action plan is based on the Competitiveness Compass and the Clean Industrial Deal. One of its aims is to simplify regulations and reduce costs and bureaucracy. According to the EU Commission, this approach will save the chemical industry at least €363 million annually.
Proposed Changes
As now presented, the omnibus regulation would repeal or amend several provisions that entered into force with Regulation (EU) 2024/2865 – but not all of which have taken effect yet. These include formatting rules (Article 31 and Annex I) and requirements for advertising and distance selling (Articles 48 and 48a). The six-month period for updating the labeling label is also to be deleted.
Outcome Uncertain
The EU Council and the EU Parliament will now negotiate the draft. The EU Commission has not specified a precise timetable.
