Emendrix checks every change against three independent sources. Where they disagree it says so rather than picking a winner.
MODIFIED +728 −561 Annex III LIST OF SUBSTANCES WHICH COSMETIC PRODUCTS MUST NOT CONTAIN EXCEPT SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS LAID DOWN§
applies from: unchanged
Sources disagree about what is listed, not about the text — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
The visible portions of Annex III in both versions are identical in wording, structure, and entries as far as the text extends before being cut off.
Because both texts are truncated at the same point, any difference between the before and after versions must lie beyond the point where the supplied text ends, and that remainder is not shown here.

No explanation shipped — the structural diff did not see this change, so it carries no text; another signal named the unit and the disagreement ships marked disputed.
